Special Need Kid's Day at the Hatchery (May 9)

This is an event that we have done for the last three years that we love. We and our chapter of Trout Unlimited assist at the Chattahoochee National Fish Hatchery with two hundred children with developmental challenges catch trout. Since many are in wheelchairs, they would not be able to negotiate the stream, so the are allowed to fish directly in the hatchery runs. The each can catch and keep eight fish. There challenges vary, but hearing them squeal and laugh when they catch a fish is very heart warming.
