On Friday night April 20 at 7pm, the weekend before Opening Day of fishing season, the Adopt A Stream Foundation is presenting a Free Showing of the 1969 classic short (30 minute) film The Way of Trout at the Northwest Stream Center Auditorium in Snohomish County’s Mc Collum Park, 600 128th Street SE, Everett WA 98208 (Map and Directions: http://www.streamkeeper.org/aasf/Contact.html). Space is limited and you need to register in advance for this free event by calling 425-316-8592.
The Way of Trout brings you underwater into the world of rainbow trout. You will see scenes of this great fish’s day-today fight to survive from predators who at various stages of growth include aquatic insects, other fish, birds and animals. And, only man, the ultimate predator, has the alternative to release trout to spawn future generations.
This movie is the original award winning 16 mm classic production produced for Trout Unlimited.
“It was one of the first films to advocate “catch and release, ” says Adopt A Stream Foundation Director Tom Murdoch. “You will really enjoy seeing this short film that features a wise old fly fisherman and a very large and beautiful female rainbow trout on the Northwest Stream Center’s big screen.”
And, after the movie, you can go on a short tour of the NW Stream Center’s Trout Steam Exhibit – the newest trout stream in the State of Washington. As an added treat, you will have the chance to win some fishing gear raffle items donated by John’s Sporting Goods and the Avid Angler! Proceeds from that raffle will help the Adopt A Stream Foundation meet challenge grant that will fund the construction of a 1/2 mile Elevated Nature Walk at the NW Stream Center.
