What is Catch & Give?
Catch and Give is a nonprofit organization created by Martha House, who is from Houston, Texas and has been fly-fishing in Ennis, Montana her entire life. This nonprofit organization holds biannual fundraisers for the Ennis Community Children's School (ECCS). In order to incorporate her love for fishing, Martha created the Fish-A-Thon, where anyone on a float trip with one of the participating outfitters can donate a certain amount of money per fish caught during the float trip.

Hi! My name is Martha House, I am from Houston, Texas, but attend Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. I have been coming up to the Channels Ranch in Ennis, Montana since I was born and absolutely love it up here. I have wanted to give something back to a community that has given me so much, and I am finally old enough to be able to do so. I have a passion for fly fishing, and so when I discovered the ECCS, I knew I wanted to help them out and do it in a way that incorporates fishing; thus I came up with the Fish-A-Thon.
