SUNY ESF's Trout Bums fishing club has found college students on The Hill who are passionate about outdoors traditions.

Late nights of revelry seem typical for most college students. But instead of standing in the line at Chuck's Cafe, imagine standing along the banks of a river, hoping a trout will take your meticulously tied fly. 

Fishing, once thought of as a hobby for people of an older generation, is picking up a younger crowd. Here in Syracuse at The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, one group is bringing the age-old pastime to student angling enthusiasts.
