Give a boy a fish and he plays for a day. Teach a
boy to fish and you have a friend for life.
Fishing has always been a great passion of mine,
though I don't get to enjoy it as much as I would like. Everyone always asks me if I
am catching anything when I go fishing. I have to explain to them that I am
"Fishing". I may go "Catching" another time.
Point is, catching fish is fun and
exciting, but FISHING is simply the best!
Our class started with 6 kids, but two had left
before we actually got to go fishing. The first two sessions were lessons in
casting, knot tying and baiting hooks with some instruction on using rubber worms lures
and making hooks weedless.
After that we were ready to go! We visited
3 totally different spots over 3 weeks and I think the kids all had a great time. I
know I did.
The photo album at the left is just a small
sampling of the day. If you get a chance, fly with a club, fly with kids, teach the
kids. Have fun and enjoy!
