That's indeed worth a huge smile :D Very, very well done!

What an accomplishment! I had no idea that Trout in the Classroom spanned across the big pond. Though I have not been involved in the program here (I know--shame on me), it has been a huge success in education and spawning young people's interest in the trout to include habitat, conservation, and, of course, fishing/catch and release.

Great news for all the London anglers!

That's great news, awesome to see the re-establishment of wild trout.

Thanks guys! For anyone with a proper breeding population of wild trout in their own river, even in a city centre, this may not seem like much... but to us it's pretty big.

Yes, Trout in the Classroom has come a long way: what a great original idea by TU, and even though its main purpose is educational, you can see how it's quite an effective stocking programme too!

Thanks again for all the support!
