We had an amazing last adventure together on our field trip! It was a day to remember! We visited the Fishery Research Center, fished at Wilson Ponds, and toured the Nampa Fish Hatchery after releasing the trout we raised. A huge thank you to Idaho Fish and Game and the volunteers for the day, and all of our amazing Chaperones! Also thank you to the parents that contributed photos of the day to our album so I could create the overview video.
