Ruined my third grader.

[Mica Man]

I had a Wednesday off from work a couple of weeks ago and figured it would be a great opportunity to do a little mid week steelhead fishing. The temps were to be in the 60's with lots of sunshine. I got permission from the wife to pull my boy out of school and take him along for his first trip. He was excited and asked all sorts of questions on the drive down of what to expect. It did not take long before he got his answer.

His first steelie ever! Nice fish but it was sporting an extra tail feather and we turned it back.

Batteling another one!


One of mine.

The kid got to land four fish for the trip and had a couple of long line releases. Not a bad first trip and I think he is now addicted. Little does he know it is not always this easy.

Its over for that kid. Awesome.

 

[recon6036]

Outstanding! I'm sure he'll always remember that!

The poor child will never be right again.

Very nice! He is ruined. I made quite a few trips in a lots worse weather to land fewer steelhead than that....

 

[RUT JUNKEY]

very nice! Im not sure about your son, but, that would have ruined me at my age now! Good on you for taking the time for your kids.

[MtnWest]

Steelhead and Turkeys, great spring for the Mica Man kids!

 

[thecrittergitter]

That is awesome! That kid has caught more fish that I have in one trip than I have in three!!

Great job to you for getting him out there!

 

[putm2sleep]

Well done on getting the son a few fish. That last one is a pig. How big was he?

 

[fowladdict]

That is way cool! Thanks for sharing.

I'm jealous, your third grade son now has a more successful steelhead career than I do. Congrats on some quality time with your son, great looking fish too.

 

[Lawnboy]

Wow you guys did great. Having grown up in Salmon I watched many a man fish the river and get skunked all day trying for steelhead. Steelhead fishing reminds me of how sheep hunting is for hunters. Once they try it they can't stop even if it is slow. Big congrats

 

[sluggo6850]

sure now he is going to want to skip school every week for some fun. LOL congrats, you have a partner now!

Wow...looks like a great trip. Awesome that you got to share it with your son.
