We hiked along the main river for about an hour, to the place where a stream comes in from the side. Some places the trail was wet and muddy. We jumped from rock to rock to keep our shoes dry. On the narrowest point, we crossed the stream on a bridge made from two logs close together, only a foot wide. We went down to a pool under a high waterfall and started fishing. A big trout (as seen with kids’ eyes) was hooked on the first throw. After a couple of hours, we had thrown 3 small trout back to the river, and put 4 in the bag.
I guess you’ve got the point now? Where to get the easy catch. Yes, of course, it’s in a big pool, under a high waterfall, where the fish are waiting for food to pass by, and the waterfall is too high for the trout to jump up.
You sneaky fisherman! Okay...you smart fisherman! You figured out how to make fishing fun.

Hmm, I'm not very interested in fishing, too tame...

Most important when fishing with kids, is to go to places where they hook a trout on the first or second throw.
ReplyDeleteFishing can be exiting, Enid; in particular fishing for oyster >;)
Ok, this is the 3rd time I have tried to post a comment on this post and my last try! Did the others get sent to your email???
ReplyDeleteI want to go fishing with you someday!
And make you put your hand in a bucket of dead fish! LOL!
BTW, I wouldn't mind if you fished for oysters.
Hehe, I see what you mean ... >:)
