Fishing fun with the Edgebrook and Humboldt crews at Humboldt's lagoon!

Vanessa reels in one of her five (five!) bluegills on the lagoon. She would end up being the fishing champion of the day.Edgebrook's Neesha is a bit squeemish with her catch, and who can blame her? He's fishy.
Albey recreates The Old Man and the Sea, except with a young man, no sea, and little bluegills instead of large marlin. Still, the iconography is solid.

Keenan waits patiently for a bite.

Ryan waits for his 2nd fish of the day.

Edgebrook's Eddie and Cajette are determined to catch one.


They may come from different parts of town, but when it comes time to fish, Edgebrook and Humboldt present a united, fish-catching front.
In addition to fishing, we had some wetlands work. The teens collected a variety of species that are highly pollution-Intolerant, indicating that the Humboldt lagoon is quite healthy.







Frank, our Department of Natural Resources instructor, shows us how to properly unhook a snagged fish. It came in quite handy, as we practiced "Catch and Release" with all of the fish.

The teens all strike a pose beneath Jen Jensen's historic Humboldt boathouse (built in 1907).
