I admit it. I got in trouble with ODFW (Or. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife) this weekend. And in front of my own kids no less!
It was a gorgeous day, so we packed the boys into the car with water and otter pops and hit the road. We headed for a beautiful fish hatchery about 40 minutes away. When we got there we found a fly fishing clinic going on. Great Big Fish in a large pond with newbie fisherfolk intently, vigorously and joyfully flailing the water.
After watching this show for a bit, I got curious. “Just what would it take to entice one of these big, dumb monsters (the fish, that is)?” A short while later…
“You can’t fish here!”
