Fishergirl

Dad took the day off on Friday and took Emma fishing in the afternoon. They went to a secret spot to catch rainbow trout that have just begun their spawning run out of a local reservoir and up a small stream.

Emma caught this beautiful 16" rainbow all by herself using her Barbie fishing pole! The biggest fish Dad caught was only 14".



When they got home, Mom told Emma what a good fisherman she is. Emma corrected her and said, "You mean fisherGIRL."





Rachel liked the slippery, slimy feel of the trout. Dad and Emma kept 4 fish (the limit) in all and mostly kept small ones because they are better to eat. The trout made a delicious dinner!

Wow you go Emma. My dad tried to get me to fish but after I had to gut my own I said no way to that. Love the fishing pole. Good memories and awesome that your kids eat trout. (yuck) lol

Impressive!!!!!! That is one big fish for a little girl!!!! I suppose I would expect nothing but huge successes from her in all facets of life.
