One of the highlights of spring and the fishing season for Indian Lake Central School students is when Superintendent Mark Brand brings in his fly-fishing gear and gives a lesson on fishing. The lesson covers how to do the sport as well as some science related to what fish eat and how the flies imitate that food. Each year the students learn about fishing around April 1, when trout fishing season starts.
