If we start talking about this unique toy and teaching tool, we might go on for pages.  Click here to see a video, for starters.  Developed by Mike Mouradian, President of the Ann Arbor Chapter of Trout Unlimited, this fun little game is the perfect addition to your next casting clinic, lawn party, or flyfishing school.  Or just make casting practice for yourself a little more challenging and fun. We used Lawn Trout with great success at this year's Michigan Trout Unlimited Flyfishing School, challenging students and instructors to team up and fish against each other.  Here's a picture of Dave Leonard, casting instructor, warming up as he faces the challenge.

Each kit comes with a lawn trout and two flies that will retrieve your catch if you land the fly on him. No such thing as too much fun -- that's what we learned in college, if nothing else.  Makes a great, unique, can't-wait-to-try-it gift for anyone new to fly fishing and experienced anglers alike.  ALL PROCEEDS GO TO Ann Arbor Trout Unlimited's Youth Education Program!
