Tim, I would give anything to take my youngest daughter on such a venture.
She was always my fishin's buddy, I sure miss her, we would have the
greatest time (her laugh is so contagious and so fun) and we seldom caught
many fish. We tried to rob a fish trap one time, that was a kick!

Thanks for sharing your experience, it made my day!

Chris Fanning, sounds like you got an early Father's day present to me!

It was a perfect day in New England to do whatever outdoors activity you
wanted.
After a day of hard labor around the house, it was time to get out and
enjoy. It
took a lot of discipline, but I left all my fishing stuff in the car
while
#2
son, Scott (21 years old), and I canoed around a East Brimfield
Reservoir.
We
traveled about three or four miles in all, staying near the shore as
much
as
possible. We saw beaver, turtles, and lots of fish - enough so Scott
said
he'd
like to get his fishing license this week and do it again soon. Since he
swore
off fishing about four years ago, this was good to hear.

I'm looking forward to the next trip, but, with rod or without, it's
good
to be
out with him, talking, laughing, and actually having the time to enjoy
each
other.

it's amazing what fishing can do for somebody. my daughter had a real rough
night last night- we went to the emergency room, they gave her something to
help her sleep, and let her talk with someone who was able to validate her
emotions. after finally getting a good night's sleep that lasted until 3:00
this afternoon, she decided she was ready to get out and put her feet in
some water. i brought along the spin rod, as i have yet to learn to
properly cast the fly rod, and when she got that rod in her hands, and felt
the fish nibbling and pulling at the hook, she got very excited and even
let out some giggles, and squeals.
that was so good for her heart and mine. she wants to go back out, and do
it again tomorrow. she says she won't stop until she catches one.
there surely is something special in the sharing of the fishing experience.
