Christian Floyd, a fifth grade White Oak student, spent all of last year taking care of the trout egg project when it was at the intermediate campus. He even spent a weekend sharing his knowledge of the project with fly fishermen, state politicians, Texas Parks and Wildlife biologists, and many others while working the Trout in the Classroom booth at the Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited Trout Fest.  This year he parlayed that knowledge into a winning essay titled, “My Best Day on the River.” The contest, sponsored by the GRTU and Temple Fork Outfitters fly rods, grouped 5th though 8th graders into one category. Christian came out on top winning a fly rod, reel, and case combo worth about $250. He was unable to attend the awards ceremony, but a picture of his father Skyping him in to virtually receive his award is below. Congratulations, Christian. Nice way to extend your learning from the project last year.
