Fishing

~Fishing With Dad~

The Fishermen - Me , Dad , Dick

Summer of 2000 upon the Tule River.
Dad and Dick (brother-in law, married to sister Nancy) wanted to catch some fish. I took them to my favorite spot and told them they would catch some fish if they were any kind of fishermen. This is a favorite little hole between the lower and upper coffee camps. When we got to this nice hole, with a small waterfall and deep pool, it was Dad's turn to show us how it was done. Well, you can see by the picture that Pop still knows how to catch them, though he did slip on a mossy rock and go under. All we heard was some sputtering as he went under then ....
"DANG THAT WATER IS COLD" but he still managed to pull 3 rainbow trout out of that little hole. I don't remember the count for that day but I do remember we all did catch some fish.

I can tell you this ....
If you have never had the fun of going fishing with your Dad,
then you have missed a very special day.
Thanks Pop, I won't forget it.
