A little walk down to the crick

[kickingfrog]

With the theme song from the Andy Griffith Show playing in my head my son and I walked down to the stream near our house this morning. The stream does have brookies, browns and the odd resident rainbow but the section within walking distance for a 4 year old is somewhat less then ideal. I figured we'd at least walk in some woods and maybe see some animal tracks.

 

He's not ready for fly casting but I figured the single action reel would simplify things a bit for him.

 

 

After trying a few spots we finally hit scales. A few chub were all we found but it was short, simple, completed without tears and we were home before 8:30am so hopefully it will be the first of many.

That is awesome!

Your son should remember that forever.

I remember my father talking me to local creek 40 yrs. ago for perch and bullheads like it was yesterday.
