Taught my Nephew to Fish Today!

Nephew turned six so I bought him the standard uncle gift, fishing pole with dozens of sharp hooks and lures! Took him out in the little boat and trolled the lake. After I explained to him that we were "fishing" and not catching, and that sometimes it is nice to just enjoy the lake, he hooked his first trout! Within twenty minutes he had boated three on his new fishing rod. Brought two to my brothers house, and bbqd them up. He even said the fish wasn't too bad ;)

Now if I can get him to operate the trolling motor we can get into some bass! I grew up on this lake and was real happy to see it is still a productive fishery even this late in season, and that I could maybe create another sportsman.
