Title: MG's 1st fish
Post by: jackelope on May 31, 2011, 11:57:11 AM: My daughter Maddie caught her 1st trout this weekend at Evans Pond near Clarkston. It was a trip I will never forget. Like an ungraceful clutz I managed to knock her over landing this monster trout. We didn't manage to get a picture of the actual fish because apparently it was "slimey and yucky" and she didn't want to hold it.

Next step is to get her set up in some waders and a fly rod and have her casting off the bow of my driftboat in the canyon with her mom.
p.s. hooking a trout with a 2 1/2' Superman pole and powerbait is a bigger challenge than it seems.
