The Ted Trueblood Chapter of Trout Unlimited initiated its Trout in the Classroom Program during the 1998-1999 school year at Riverside Elementary in Boise. Fourth Grade Teacher Carrie Prange was our first teacher involved in the program.

By 2007 Trout in the Classroom has grown across Southwest Idaho with Ted Trueblood Chapter involvement in 30 classrooms.

We hope to continue this program in the Boise area and reach into other areas of southwest Idaho.
