Program Synopsis:
August means back to school. In high school, it also means back to teenage fun such as sports, dating, dances, cool clothes and fishing. Yes, fishing. The Fly Casting and Tying Club is one of the more popular extracurricular activities at Lincoln County High School. It may not always compete with the thrill of that first car or first kiss, but it is worth a conversation with kids and sponsor Hank Gevedon for a lesson in why so many students - girls included - are hooked.
