Fourteen "Kid Casters" from the Lee County Boys & Girls Club enjoyed Morning Fishing at the CTCC Dock April 5th!

The weather was perfect as seven TUFF volunteers welcomed 14 youngsters (and Mr. D) to the CTCC dock for some fishing fun. The bite was pretty good with about two dozen small fish caught and released during this two hour event. White bass, white perch, bluegills, red ear sunfish and crappie were reeled in by this enthusiastic group. Each participant received the NC Sport Fish Identification Guide from the NCWRC.

Thanks, as always, to Escalante, the owners of CTCC, for hosting another Fish for Fun lesson at the dock as part of TUFF's ongoing Outreach Program to the Sanford community.
