Prep Fisherman to Fish in Fly Fishing World Championships

One of our own will be competing in the IGFA World Inshore Flyfishing Championships, held in the Florida Keys this summer. Sam Hart, a senior at the Prep, qualified for the event by placing in the top two at the Tres Pescado Slam, an IGFA Championships qualifier event, held in Belize this past summer. To read more about Sam's great accomplishment and the IGFA Inshore Championships, check out the links below.

We wish Sam luck this summer and can't wait to hear about the championship event! Tight lines!

Untamed Tuna Fishing

Captain Judd and Mr. Borgatti hooked up with a group of science filmmakers known as Untamed Science this summer. Many of you know Untamed Science from your freshmen biology textbook and the videos that support the curriculum. Our goal was to film actively feeding bluefin tuna and also catch, tag, and release one. Despite some great fishing leading up to the trip, we were blanked. We still managed to have a good time, despite the less than favorable conditions.
