Fishing


We went fishing! Elsie has been asking to go fishing for over a year probably. She saw some people catch a fish in the river near our house and since then she was hooked on the idea. Will found a place that had all the gear you needed, stocked fish ponds and they would clean and flay the fish for you for a fee. So off we headed over an hour drive away and we made it. Elsie loved it. At first we did not have much luck and it seemed like these well stocked fish all new not to go for the bate (a little piece of leather on the end of a hook). But then I caught one small one. A while later we saw that some people where throwing in fish food by their hooks and confusing the fish into grabbing the bate. It worked. We got some quarters and bought some food and caught 3 more all with Elsie's help. Will was the lucky one to get to take the fish off the hook but he did a great job of it. So over all is was a awesome morning event and Elsie is excited to try again soon. Plus we brought them home and ate them that night and they were pretty good...yummy to Will and Elsie.
