On Friday, May 27, 2016 sixteen Waterloo Oxford students competed at the 11th Annual Educast Fishing Championship. This event is hosted by East Elgin Secondary School and takes place at the Pleasant Valley Trout Farm in Aylmer. This two day event draws over 1000 students from all across Ontario The target species is Pike, Bass and Rainbow Trout. Students catch as many fish as possible with the top three weights counting towards their total weigh in.
W-O had a productive day and were able to hook into many fish; however, a special shout out goes to Cole Foster(10th), Ayden Nafzinger(2nd), and Tyler Wysanski (1st for the second year in a row) for their top ten finish. By achieving this top ten finish these three also qualified for the Educast Championships, where they will head to Turkey Point on Lake Erie on the opening day of Bass season. Here they will be paired with a professional bass angler for the day.
