Father's Day Trip

Well all I wanted was to take my little girl fishing in a real stream with fish.  I got my wish.  To make the day a bit more fun and easier I purchased some waders from Cabela's in the smallest size they had.  Meg being the trooper that she is loved them and was a real good sport thorough the day.  As it is with fishing with Kids I got to watch more then fish but Hey that's what I wanted.  We caught a nice little brown int the big pool by the brook.  Since Meg loves Fish he came home with us.  Moving up stream to one of my favorite runs we both shared a rock in the middle of the stream while she fished.  Luckily the Rainbow who has been hanging out int he run found her worm to be a good offering.  He gave her quite the fight and with plenty of line out she had the opportunity to learn about drag and how to fight a fish.  It was a blast.  The trout was slated to come home with us as well but unfortunately he had other plans.  As I grabbed for the line to get my hand under him he wrapped around me and the rock.  Pulling the line yielded nothing more then a hook with no fish attached.  I think I was more upset then Meg but hey when you get lemons you make lemonade and she learned that not all fish can be caught.  We fished for a little while longer but she got board and let me fish trying to catch another to go with our brown trout.  After snacks were done where an ant brought a blood curdling cry; who knew eating crackers while sitting on the bank would bring ants?!? We fished a bit more and then called it a day.  What more could a Dad ask for.
