Sunday morning and we were off to a friend's pond that is full of good sized bluegills. Hadley fished her Lamiglas Fly/Spin, a cricket, and Thingamabobber to catch the strike. On almost every cast she picked up a hand sized bluegill and it didn't take to long before our bucket was full.
Last night we had a small feast of fried bluegill filets and slow cooked grits. Hadley was quite proud of herself for catching dinner and happily ate up everything on her plate with a smile. Good times and lessons learned showing her the process from pond to plate.

That is great stuff. Inspiring the next generation of angler-conservationists.
Keep up all the good work you do and thanks for sharing your story with us!
cheers

Sam...I hardly ever keep fish but this pond is thick with them so they needed a few invited home for dinner. Hadley was into the whole process.
Mark...we'll make those grits again the next time you come and visit. Bring fly rods, reels, and you kayak next time!
We enjoyed the outing yesterday, though it looks like you ate better than I last night. Ainsley had a great time catching some fish. Looking forward to the next trip.
Cameron,

Fishing with kids is great. I just wrote a post about going fishing with my daughters.
I'm a transplanted southerner. Haven't seen grits in awhile, but they look delicious!
