As the birth of our daughter approached, what was once a room of fly rods, waders, and backpacks, was repainted a girl friendly green and transformed into a living page from the Pottery Barn Kids catalog.
Everything that once lived in the spacious "Gear Room" was divided up and tightly stored in the guest bedroom closet and in the unfinished (EEEKKK!) room over the garage to brave the elements.
Six months ago the process happened again. Even before the home pregnancy test popped the pink plus sign for sure, the wife cut me a look that it was time to move out...again.
Now we are building a room for our son, and besides painting walls and putting furniture together, I am finding new and imaginative places to stash gear.
"Eviction Notices" or not...it's great building a family of little anglers!

Cameron,
Congratulations! You now have approximately 18-20 years before you can commandeer one of those rooms again...
Priceless! I would throw all my gears away to have a room like that! Seriously! Congratulations! Cameron.
Dane...thanks for that stark reality. HA...
Yuhina...don't throw away your gear! Let's go fishing again soon.
Oh the joys of fatherhood. :) You know if you can get both of your little ones hooked on fishing you have an even greater excuse to build a fishing shack seperate from the house. A place where "fishin folk" can hang.
Congratulaions!! That is wonderful news. Don't sweat the gear room. They grow up in the blink of an eye...so enjoy!!
Again, congratulations!!
congrats dude!

That beats the other kind of eviction notice
