Great Weekend

Posted: April 2, 2012

Fly tyingThe Eel Ground Atlantic Salmon Fly Fishing and Sportsman Show took place over the weekend. Friday saw many of our students taking part in Fly-Tying Instruction by High school students from MVHS and Blackville High,as well as some of the best fly-tiers on the river. Saturday the show featured Fishing Guides, Outfitters as well as authors and fly tackle shops. The Ground Search and rescue had a trailer set up outside and the Department of Fisheries and oceans as well as the Department of Natural Resources were on hand to answer any questions. Our own Mrs. Harris and Mrs. K Francis put on an archery demonstration and local guide Betty Ward gave instruction on the art of Fly casting. All proceeds from the show went to our school as well as the Eel Ground Group Home. Over $900.00 was raised! We would like to thank all the volunteers, booth displays and the public for making this first time event a success!
