I took off work a couple of days so we could spend a little extra time with the girls before school starts next week. Erin has begged Papa for weeks to take her fishing, so that is what we did. I took them to the store at Taneyville to get legal with trout stamps and a license for me. I believe this is my first ever fishing license!
Rick fishes all night for Walleye, but prefers to start about daylight for Trout, so we rolled out early.
Ashton does not really care much for fishing, but she was a good sport and tended the poles Papa set in front of her. Her pole was the first one to wiggle and before we hardly knew what was going on she had a nice sized trout ready to put on her stringer. She was also the first one to limit out and then could relax in her chair and concentrate on the Nintendo DS.
Erin is quite the little fisherman and stayed right in there until she got her limit.
My stringer was the third one to fill and I am rather proud of my catch. I had never gone trout fishing so it was quite a thrill.
Rick only caught one and six hours after we got there he was packing up and ready to go home. To be fair I have to say that he was an excellent fishing guide. When our lines got crossed, he helped get out the tangles. When we snapped line, he restrung our rods. With his handy-dandy lure puller, he retrieved lures from the fishies mouths. All in all, I think it was a rather stressful morning for him, but he was proud of us. We could not have done it without him!
Following a good afternoon nap, he watched the Olympic Opening Ceremonies with us, then took off for Walleye Land about midnight.
