Fly Fishing Field Trip

Students at SJHS had the chance to go on a fly fishing field trip on October 22, after learning how to catch fish during the PE unit. They fished lower Provo River, according to Mr. Chambers, a PE coach at SJHS. About 25 students went on the field trip, according to Mr. Chambers.

Two fish were caught, according to Alex Middlebrook, a ninth grade student at SJHS who went to the fly fishing trip.

In the fly fishing unit, students learned how to fish before fishing actual rivers. “It was good for everyone, if you already know how to fish or if you’re learning and new to fishing,” said Zach Graves, a seventh grade student at SJHS.

The coaches that organized the fly fishing trip hope it will start an interest for some of the students in the unit and field trip. “Hopefully some kids will pick it up as a hobby and turn it into something they love actively doing,” said Mr. Chambers.

“Fly fishing is a passion of mine and a great way to get outdoors and be active,” said Coach Chambers.
