Karen and I just got back from camping at Fish Lake, aka Shunda Lake with our grandkids and their parents. We had a blast although it was still a bit snowy and chilly at night. We were glad our furnace on our trailer was working well. We all went down to the dock to see if the fish stocking had occurred once we arrived and set up camp. Sigh, we saw nothing. Hmm. We were disappointed.
Well after a big breakfast the first morning we hiked around the lake. I thought I saw some rising fish. As we neared the end of our walk, my one grandson, saw a pod of rainbows. Well then we knew that at least some rainbows had been put into the lake.
We went back and got the grandkids casting rods. We added a 10 cent red and white bobber and two red brassies, size 16. The boys just cast out and slowly retrieved their flies. They caught rainbow after rainbow until they wanted to go back to camp and build a fort.
My son-in-law and I ensured the kids did not have tangles and helped the kids manage the caught fish!
One afternoon we had a fishing derby which of course the kids won.
We always ensure the fishing is about the kids. The adults rarely fish. The fishing is in small doses too. The kids like fishing with flies with their small spinning rods. They can easily managed them.
