Meet-a-Stream Day on the Vermillion @ Vermillion River near Farmington

Meet-a-Stream Day with Minnesota Trout Unlimited

Join MNTU education specialist and long time fly angler, Evan Griggs, at his favorite MNTU habitat project sites. Tour the project site to see how habitat work benefits the stream. Learn about stream ecology by sampling macroinvertebrates to determine water quality and see what the trout are eating. Then we’ll practice our fly fishing skills, like casting and knot tying, before heading out to try and catch some trout.

Our programs are tailored for kids, families, and newer anglers. This is a great way to explore some new fishing spots, understand how our habitat projects benefit trout, and grow your fishing skills! All gear provided and no fishing license or trout stamp are required for participants at these events. For ages 10+, an adult must accompany their minor(s) at all times. If looking to register more than 3 people or have questions, contact Evan Griggs, tic.mntu@gmail.com.
