Early Morning Fly Fishing . . .

 As you can tell, we spend a lot of time at the fishing hole this time of year.  On Sunday we woke up bright and early so he could break out his fly rod for the first time this season.  We spent two hours there and then he headed back again in the afternoon before we had to pick up Kiersen from Hershey Park.  He never gets enough.  There's always fish to be caught and lots of smiles along the way.  And - it's also a great time for me to practice my photography, because it's one of the rare times he will stop for a second and pose for me!

Kaiden's First (Big) Catfish!

On Monday Kaiden and I went fishing and he hooked a big catfish on his rod.  His rod only had 4 pound test on it.  He fought with it for a while, but the fish won and snapped his line.  He was so excited and then so bummed out.  He was determined to come back the next day with a different set up and try again.  Guess what - he got one!  I've done a lot of fishing with him, but I've never seen him get this excited over a fish.  You would swear that he won the lottery!  He's no longer satisfied with fishing for sunny fish.  I have a feeling more 'fat cats' are going to be caught in the near future.

Bass Fishing at MHS . . . .

This summer Kaiden and I have gone fishing 3-4 times a week, and he's caught lots of fish.  He's starting to 'grow out' of getting excited over sun fish and has now moved on to bass, which are a little harder to catch.  These photos were taken in early June.
