Several members of CVFF helped introduce members of Mrs' Fry's class to
the mysteries of fly casting and fly tying: Tom Greenup, Norm Chung,
Gary Scott, Gene Mahn, and Jimmy Toy.
The class
participates in the Trout in the Classroom program, with over 100 healthy trout
fingerlings in their aquarium.

We knew we were in for something special when we saw this banner at Meadows Elementary
School.
Here are some of Mrs. Fry's fry.
The class has been watching the trout hatch from eggs supplied by the California
Department of Fish and Game.
Gene and Gary taught some casting, despite the wind.
Norm tying.
Jimmy explaining where hackle comes from...
Tom is the coordinator of the TIC program for CVFF.
The kids tried fly tying.
Mrs. Fry grows her own hackle outside her classroom.

Dear Bill et al ...
It was absolutely great to have ya'll come to Meadows and share your
talents. The students were so engrossed in the activities, they stayed for
well over an hour after school was officially dismissed. Quite a testimony to
their enthusiasm. Please send our heartfelt thanks to all . Hope to see you at
a future CVFF meeting.
Sincerely, Jennifer Fry
