We’re excited to (slowly) bring back opportunities to work with youth through a long-standing collaboration between SWTU and Shabazz High School in Madison! Due to district Covid precautions we can’t bring back all of the same experiences of the past, but this is a step in the right direction.
Come pass on your fly fishing knowledge with the next generation of student fly fishers at Shabazz High School through a series of workshops with Project Green Teen (PGT).

If interested in working with PGT, please contact:

Do the Teens Still Fish after Project Green Teen?
Why yes they do, says Tina Murray, Founder of PGT and chapter member who runs the Women’s Clinics. Past students are hard to keep up with but occasionally they share their bounty! These are some of Jessica Custer’s latest adventures!
SWTU supports PGT, our youth education program, and has been involved in helping high school youth understand cold water conservation at college level learning. So much so, that 5 national colleges offer scholarships for students to attend their resource management programs. PGT was started in 2004 and intensively teaches everything from macro-invertebrates, to flies, to conservation trends, to conservation service projects, to casting (see prior article!) to fishing in the Driftless for 5 days with chapter mentors (in non-covid years). Brian Counselman and Robert Banks are now the main teachers of PGT at Shabazz High School on Madison’s North Side.
