Decided to try and get my son into fishing, so we put the state hatchery program to some good use. Took him to Tanwax to fish from the dock at Camp Lakeview.

Arrived at the lake around six thirty or seven. The air was a bit chilly, and there was frost on the dock, with a thick fog covering most of the lake. Don't know what the water temps were, but most likely right around 50 degrees or so.

Floated a fat nightcrawler on a four foot leader under a bobber. Hung out catching fish until the dock got too crowded until around ten thirty. Caught enough eight to ten inch stockers to throw on the Traeger for lunch.

It was a good morning to hang out with the boy. He just needs to polish up his casting a bit. Good times...

Thanks! I had a great time with him. I've tried for the past couple years to get him to go, but he just didn't seem interested. I figured I just let it go until he was good and ready.

It's kind of funny, he got in trouble in school on Friday, and I had to give him a good tongue lashing and a grounding when I got home. He moped around the house while I got my gear ready for Saturday morning, and I felt kinda bad for him. I asked him if he would like to go fishing with me on Sunday, which I was pleasantly surprised he said yes.

He helped me get the gear together and kept telling his mom how much he liked "working" with dad. He was so excited and happy to catch fish, before we were even done for the day, he was asking to go back on Monday. It was a great weekend...one of those times it gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling. :-)
