Proud Papa Moment

Took my seven yr old son to the Flatbrook for his first "guided trip" :D with Dad and Grandpa and Uncle

Ended up catching and releasing five rainbows on his own.

Was like de-sha-vu / considering of all the spots we fish - we ended up taking him to the place where my dad taught me how to fish for trout twenty years ago.

Emotions / Words couldnt describe - something you can't explain to someone / only unless you have experienced it. Watching the look on my dad's face was the same expression I remember twenty years earlier.

Almost like it was me fishing in my son's body when I just sat back and just took it all in.

Your right - didnt even want to fish.. just wanted to take it all in... Had more fun watching him than fishing.

It's the best feeling in the world! Been there, done that. I get really disgusted when men tell me they don't fish anymore because they have children now. Or their wives wouldn't let them take them. How pathetic. I use to take one by the hand while carrying the baby on my back. Granted, I had to change to pond or lake fishing. River and streamed fish by myself when not with them.They knew when the bobber went down. They would get excited and say, "Fish". I think it was their first word they spoke. LOL. Now my oldest takes my 6 year old grandaughter who loves the sport. She gets so excited telling grandpa her fishing stories. My one son has turned out to be an adventurer fisherman who will walk long ways to find new grounds. He logs on this web-site as Doug.
