Troop 5 Scout Catches Rainbow Trout

By Dr. Lester Sitzes, 04/11/22 7:20 PM

Troop 5 Scout Melody Martinez caught this beautiful Rainbow Trout fly
fishing at Dry Run Creek near Mountain Home. Staying at White Hole Resort,
the Scouts fished two days catching many Rainbow and Brown Trout. They also
had a fish fry of their fresh caught fish, toured the Vexus Boat Plant
(established by Forrest Wood) and WAPSI Fly Company.  They learned to throw
axes and make their own fishing flies. White Hole Resort supplied the
lodging, guides, gear and the fish fry.
T L Lauerman of WAPSI Fly supervised the fly tying class, the materials for
fishing and arranged
for the fly fishing guides.
Troop 5 is sponsored by the Century Bible Class of Hope’s First United
Methodist Church. Karen Smith is Scoutmaster.
