Fly Fishing with Kids

fly-fishing-with-kidsI didn’t have much time for fishing in NH today.  Mom and I headed to the nursing home to spend some time with dad this morning and he wasn’t in good shape.  I won’t get into it but he’s been in the home several years now and ended up here because of severe Parkinson’s and now dementia.  Its been rough on the family but especially for mom for years now.

 

Once I got back to our cottage there wasn’t enough time for a trip to Back Bay for sunfish so instead I paddled my nephew Eli around for rock bass.  He can fling a fly rod nicely and loves to fish.  I got him into a bunch of rock bass and a pumpkinseed.  It was good therapy for me and a blast for Eli.  Tomorrow morning I’m headed to Back Bay with my sister hoping to get in a good day of fishing.
