Students begin the day with breakfast provided by the school's kitchen. At the lunch break students will be served a hot lunch featuring various trout recipes and local side dishes that are sure to please! (Most students want to come back just for the meals!)
Each student enrolled in a session receives a copy of the Great Smoky Mountains Trout Handbook, a comprehensive guide to trout and trout fishing in the Southern Appalachians that would compliment any angler's library.
At the day's completion, each student receives a certificate of completion along with a baseball cap featuring the school's logo.
