44 days and counting

I can't wait for April 1. The new fishing season begins. I know that the fishing in April isn't what it is in say..mid July. But at least I'll be out doing what I like best. I've been tying up a few flies. Cleaning up my gear.
One thing new for me this year will be my new fishing partner. 2 and a half year old daughter. I'm sure my trips with her will be shorter than I would normally do, but I'm looking forward to it . One of her first word combinations was 'rainbow trout'. She loves adventuring with daddy and I'm sure she will enjoy 'fishing'

Best post I've read all day. Good on you for getting her out. My one and only regret in this life is being 5000ks from my grandchildren and not able to take them fishing, camping or hunting. My grandson actually get upset with me when he sees I've bagged a deer. Lol.. City kid with the Bambi syndrome . I do fly the oldest one out , he has been out here twice and I have taken him fishing, he loves it. Not still the same as being there an able to take them when I want to. So hats off to you and I'm sure you will walk in big boots as far as your daughter is concerned.

Thats great your lil one enjoys fishing. My favourite fishing partners are my 13 yr old son and my 8 yr old daughter. The boy took to the fly rod last year and on his very 1st cast....nymphing.....caught his 1st rainbow, looked at me and said fly fishing is easy!!!!!! 2nd cast he hooked himself right in top of his hoody! I got skunked in the 2 hours we were out and im still hearing about how he out did me!!!! Good luck this year

That's good to hear, hope everything works out for you. I, unfortunately don't have that option, I would go back today but usband says over his dead body. I keep telling him we can arrange that. Lol.
