Awesome Day...

[DaveS]

Well, today was an off day from everything that I'm envolved with. Me and my 16 year old Daughter went Trout Fishing today. AWESOME Time!!

We got on the water at about 8:00 am. Overcast sky, very little bite... ya'll know the routine.

Well a thunderstorm came in and dampend our day. We hunkered down in from of a cave on a rock bluff overlooking the stream...It seamed OK for a bit...AWESOME! We got to spend time watching trout rise up to take a few "bugs" knocked down by the rain... Plus, we got to watch a Mink eat a live Crawfish...Oh Hell! I just cannot describe our experienses today.

We sat the storm out at the mouth of this cave on the creek until the rain let up. Good bonding time between me and my 16 year old daughter.

Long story short, storm let up and the Trout "turned on"! We wound up with 7 nice 12 to 14 inch rainbow?

Awesome day! No phones, no nothing! Life is good!

I bet both of you will remember today for a long time.

Most of us get too busy to stop and do those types of things with family and friends.

Glad you both had a great day!

Thanks!

There is nothing better that spending the day fishing with your kids.

I agree, spending time with the family outdoors is awesome. Sometimes on a lazy Sunday afternoon we go to the creek just to wade and catch crawfish. Kids love it and it is a "cool" place to be.

I can't wait until I can teach my little one how to fish. Your story makes me happy about the future.

Those moments are what's life is all about. It does a father proud.
