I recently took my daughters out for some bluegill and creek chub fishing on fly at the ponds across from our home. They really seemed to enjoy it and especially liked to see the take when they came up to hit the ant pattern we were using. I try to spend time daily to imprint the ideas of conservation and respect for nature on the girls. The walk to and from the ponds always includes some finding of snakes, frogs and other surprises. We caught many spring peepers and released them near our garden for future generations of bug control. I can't think of a better way to spend a sunny afternoon than hooking some fish with my two little pickles. If you have got some little ones get them hooked on the fly now. Cheers! EJ
