Indoor Trout Fishing Could Be U.S. First

We recently posted about an event this Friday where Campus Recreation will stock the pool at Reynolds Gym with rainbow trout, allowing people to fish for $15/person.

The posting quickly - and easily - became the most read item we have ever posted on this site.

So we reached out to Jessica Finnerty, the assistant director of campus recreation who oversees aquatics, to find out more about this unique event.

"This is something I thought of a few years ago but have finally been able to pull off," Finnerty wrote in an email sent Thursday. "As far as I can tell, this will be the first trout fishing even the U.S. in an indoor pool."

Finnerty added that she has roughly 90 people registered to fish for about 130 trout that will be added to the pool. How many of our readers are signed up to compete? We'd love to hear from you after the event wraps up by posting in our comment section below this post.
