Hooked!

It would appear we have taken up a new hobby! All the years we have been married, I only got to fish when I'd come to visit Dad. Dave would always say 'I'm just not interested, go fish with your Dad'.

Even last weekend when we were invited to go fishing with friends, I bought a fishing license andDave brought along a book. Well! The first thing our friend Bill did was put some waders, and fins on Dave and put him in a kickboat with a pole in his hand, and he was, well... hooked! He caught 20 fish!

On the weekend we drove 2 hours to Missoula (it is a beautiful, scenic mountain highway) to go shopping for our own gear. We got waders and boots, poles and reels, flies and a tackle box. Then we had Mexican food and drove two hours home. It was a great date.

So now, we have our own gear and we go out every day! We wade in the creek and cast and cast. Most of the time we are just practicing but sometimes we actually hook something. Take a look at this, Dave's first catch on his lucky new pole.
