14. Other Survival
Skills
We learned about filtering water,
and after all of the bugs found in
the stream ecology, I GET it!
We also learned the basics of
shelter.
15. Stream Ecology
We learned about all of the critters
that live in our streams. I never
realized that there were so MANY
and that so many other streams do
NOT have has many bugs as this
stream did. The amount of bugs
was staggering. I believe that we
were told that there is something
like 1000 scuds of bugs in one yard
of stream. Scuds are young bugs
that are segmented and have
weird little antennae and gills and
little hairy things sticking out all over.
One of the more rare ones was the
stonefly nymphs. They are kind of
like a mayfly, but can only live in
very pristine waters.
16. Fly Fishing
There are four types of
cutthroat trout native to
Wyoming: the Colorado River
cutthroat, the Yellowstone
cutthroat, the Bonneville
cutthroat, and the Snake River
cutthroat. These are desirable
and there is a limit on catching
them. There is also lake trout
that was introduced in the
1930s for anglers. They are
considered an endangered
species.
42. Examples of Uses in the
Classroom ALREADY!
I
have shown my kids photos and we
have had great discussions.
We have been studying rocks and how
rocks are made. Oil Shale came up and
we have had conversations about
fracking.
We have a terrarium set up and we have
been talking about ecology and clean
water.
43. As a final thought, I need to publicly thank the following for
making my fabulous experience possible:

Rifle Association

Inside the lodge there were many cool things to see. They also listed WHO the main sponsors of AWLS were…. There is NW Ohio!
