 |
|
Well I went out for some of the most satisfying fishing I've had all year. You gotta love spending time at the water with the kids especially when they are on the fish. We hit a small pool on the West Branch of Salmon Brook. I put down the pole today and watched while my 2 sons shared a superman rod and reel and in 1-1/2hrs they caught this...
They had a great time but I think I still had the most fun. They were all caught on trout worms and small bait hooks with some tiny split shots. The brookies were all colored up for spawning. My younger son caught the most while my older son caught the lunker at just a hair under 13". As you can see from my oldest son's face he had just come from the fair at Holcomb Farm. All fish were released unharmed. |

| Very true but I haven't taken the kids out in a while so it needed to be done. If I had more time I was going to take them hunting for some bass but that will have to wait till next time. |

Hi DD!
Anytime you can get smiles like that from your kids is precious, even if it's catching Bluegills!!! 
Phil, the smiles on your little girl on your trip to Champlain said it all!!!!
