Trout Fishing

So while we were in the mountains we decided to take the kids to a trout farm to fish. We read a review that they were guaranteed to catch fish so we figured that they would be somewhat entertained by that. So we set off to the trout pond. Basically they provide all the gear....poles, bait, bucket, cooler. So we just showed up and they guy set us up and we headed off to fish. I decided not to get a rod since I would help the kids. Jesse wanted a rod to catch his own fish. However, he didn't get a chance to. He set Sawyer up first. Baited his line and threw it in.....and before he could get Danner's baited...he had a fish. It went like that until everyone had 2 fish a piece. We figured that was more than we could eat and getting pricey so within 15 minutes of arriving we were done. They had so much fun and wanted to stay and fish longer....but the rule was you have to keep what you catch and at $4.50 a pound we had a hefty price tag. Ha

Here are a few shots from their fishing trip. They really want to fish here at home, but I am afraid they have high expectations now. Fish just don't jump in your bucket around here. :)

Getting ready to cast out the first line....

Waiting for a fish

Danner waiting patiently.

He's got a big one....

About 2 lbs was Sawyer first catch. 

Porter fishing

Danner is too prissy for this fishing thing.

Group shot.

See what I mean?? She catches one and freaks out.....it was as dramatic as it looks!!

Porter's catch

He was actually brave enough to hold his

But it sure was yucky.

Sawyer fishing some more (and the trout guy beside him)

He got another one

our 15 minutes worth of fish

checking out the stream while the guy cleaned our fish

This was the best shot I could manage.....happy fishermen huh??
