Salmon In The Classroom 2025
A total of 15 local UP schools now participate in the program being led by John Reinertsen, Bob Jensen, and Kristy Humphrey and other Chapter Volunteers who continue to do an outstanding job. Many of the 2025 release programs included other activities such as casting, hands-on Lamprey displays, and stream demonstrations. We also thank Sarah Topp and Emma Balliet for setting up and displaying the stream-demonstration table. These activities and learning stations provide for a wide-reaching and educational program. Thank you to all the volunteers and fantastic teachers who make this program so interesting, exciting, and educational for the students. Check out these great videos to see how much fun the kids have with their Salmon.

Trout Unlimited is America’s leading coldwater conservation organization. Our hope is that clear, cold, fishable water exists for generations to come, but we can’t do it without the support of committed anglers and conservationists like you .
Fred Waara Trout Unlimited needs volunteers to further its mission. Get involved in our stream restoration or youth education programs.
