The last day of Sara and Nick’s visit was kind of the grand
finale.
We took all five grandkids fishing; Sara’s five and Gary’s son Josh who lives here in Salt Lake.
Not only did the sheep keep the attention of
the kids but Andrew found a snake which I caught and let the kids play
with.
While Nick and Nick and I were
fishing, the other kids were taking turns holding the snake or catching it with
the net.
Whenever one of us would catch
a fish, whichever kid wasn’t currently involved in holding the snake would run
over to help net the fish.
We caught quite a few fish right there without even
having to cross the river.
After a quick lunch Nick asked me if there was another kid
friendly stretch we could investigate.
I
knew just the place. There is this 90 degree bend in the river with a deep hole that
has a good size bank where kids could play while we fished.
To get there you have to cross a field with
bulls and climb over two fences. It was
worth it.
There were no other fishermen
in sight. We had the whole stretch to
ourselves.
Starting out, Little Nick
caught one of the largest browns of the week.
The kids all fought over who could help net it. Where is that garter snake when you need
it?
Not to worry though, Nick and I
caught plenty more trout for the kids to take turns, after a little arguing
over who’s turn it was.
