Gone Fishing

Howdy, y'all ~ it's me, Marianna! I've been asked to guest blog in Amy's blog since I was the one that took the shots below. John, Chance & I took Cody on his first fishing trip today! We went to a 1st place at a park, but unfortunately, it was all shut down due to flooding water. The water had come over the road about 2 miles up shore from where the lake bank normally is! So we drove to Stillhouse Hollow Dam. The park was shut down, but we went over to the dam side & climbed down these steep rocks to get to a decent fishing spot. We were kinda out of options ~ it was this or nothing. So here are some of the shots I took earlier today.

Here he is. The Great Fisherman! He was doing a pretty good job casting ~ he needs to watch the hook when he reels it in. We were nearly all casualties of the deadly hook! LOL

Here he is casting while John is attempting to catch a fish...


Here is his 1st fish! We made him kiss it, which I couldn't get him to hold still long enough to snap the shot, but he was pretty excited! He caught 2 more fish after that! These are baby blue gills, so we taught him how to "catch & release". Chance caught 1 blue gill, too.
This was his 2nd fish. He wanted to take it home... LOL. All-in-all, it was a good day! We had a lot of fun & Cody left smelling like worm guts & fishies. Just like all boys! Now he can't wait to go back up to Montana so his Uncles can take him fly fishing!
