Belated opening day post - 4/3/14
EDIT: Oops. I meant 4/5/14... Not 4/3... My bad.
Took my 5 yr old step son out to a pond down my way that was pretty well stocked for the opener. Got there at 730 AM to a small crowd. Started fishing at the 8 AM whistle and had some strikes right away. I was tossing spinners and CD3s. Had him set up with the ol' worm n bobber. We had some success throughout the day hooking and landing 6 or 7 stocker browns. Finally got him his first trout! Awesome watching the little noodle rod I bought him bend in half with a thrashing trout on the hook!
We did better than most--didnt look like there was ever really a crazy bite. And once the sun was high, the bites were very few and far between. Missed a lot on the hook and bobber. He's still learning how to cross the fish's eyes but we'll get there soon enough.
Here's a shot I snapped with my GoPro. Catch em' up!
