I limited out Saturday on Brookies and Rainbows - Really had to work for them though, as I fished any area of a creek where most lazy people won't wade/walk to. Also, cought and released about 15 other fish including Rainbows that measured 4 - 5" long - possibly natives or maybe just hatchery foul up ?!?!?!?!
Didn't take any pics, though - nothing on my stringer to brag about, but I'm gonna take some pictures of those little Rainbows - really spectacular coloring on this little scrappers.
Funny thing that all but two of my fish were lip hooked. These fish weren't swallowing the #14 hooks and night crawler "heads" (I only use the part of the wornm from the collar to the tip of the head, only - I save the rest of the body for in case I am desparate and run out of crawler heads) like they usually do.
I lost a nice sized Rainbow - Approx. 18 -20" - That's what I get for trying to fish off of a high bank instead of climbing down to the rocky shoreline - Just as I was cranking and pumping the fish up into the rocks in the shallow water she arched her back and spit/flipped the hook. I'll get her next week, as this part of this particular creek is rarely fished. After fishing 40 of my 41 1/2 years of life, you would think that I would know better than to do what I did, but first day excitement got the best of me - It's still a great feeling anticipating that opening day adrenaline rush that I get, even after all these years of fihing and thousands of fish caught!!!

I opted to take my litle guy out to the local pond so we could trout fish together. We packed up a wagon with chairs, snacks, and few toys. While the HULK and THING were smacking each other off the wagon Lil Joes' spider man pole starts bouncing. I grab it quick and set hook. He reeled in a nice 10 inch brookie. Made his day. Thankfully I got one too so I did not have hear "And Dad caught noting".

Cool JJoe, glad you guys had a good time. I was fishing near a guy and his young son Saturday morning. The dad hooked a fish and handed his rod off to the kid... unfortunately, he lost it. I think the dad was more bummed than the kid.

JJoe - That's a great picture of Lil' Joe - That pic says it all!!!
Even though YOU can't really get much fishing time in yourself when you take a youngin' out fishin', especially for the first time, the enjoyment you experience watching the little ones get excited and pull in their first fish or their first fish of the season is absolutely priceless!!! Great job !!!! [up]
Funny thing, I still get that way at 41 years old!!!
