Post pictures of your fly fishing buddy

Recommended Posts

They're still interested but fishing competes more with sleep and computer time than friends. My son won't get up on the weekend before 9 or 10 so he is tough.

I just started going again after one of the longest winters we can remember down here in south Louisiana so, hard to say what they will do once I start going.

 

How about you, any kids with fishing interests?

Here's my fishing buddy, my 12 yr old niece Kristina. Following along in Uncle Steve's foot steps...she landed this big large mouth all by herself with just me coaching here.

Steel, you're a good Uncle, Kristina will remember that for the rest of her life; not everyday a person much less a child gets to catch and have a photograph with a bass like that!

 

I got a PM about Cichlids so, I'm posting a pic here cause I don't know how to reply to the pm with a pic. These fish are related to the Tilapia and have been spreading in our warm south Louisiana waters and attracting some fans and creating some enemies. They are considered invasive although they occur in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. These were caught in New Orleans' City Park. These were very tasty fried whole, minus the head of course, in a corn flour/meal coating.

Steeldrifter.. Wow.. What did your niece use to catch that lunker? She did good for herself. I have a niece that I took fishing with me all the time, but now she is 22 years old and doesn't want anything to do with fishing. Man I miss them days...When she was about 8 I would take her to the park with me and catch trout. Then after fishing, I would give her a half hour of play time on the swings. Every day after school she would ask to go fishing..This way she wouldn't be stuck in the house and it gave her time to play with the other kids...

Whenever I take the niece&nephew fishing I catch live crawdads and they use those for bait. The smallies in the Au Sable are suckers for craws so they always have a blast catching a bunch of nice fish on them. I love taking them fishing, there's nothing better than seeing a kid get so happy when a fish takes and they start fighting it. Here's a few more of her with some fish she caught last year...

My Nephew Cody likes to fish as well but not as much as my niece does....

They'll be up there with me for the whole 2 weeks in July so you'll have to come over to the cabin one evening with her and we'll take them down to the river for a bit.
