ethan has been asking his uncle james to teach him to fish for months now... and this weekend it happened... we went out to anderson island for a family get together and uncle james made time for lesson #1...
ethan hooked his line on his sweatshirt( a couple of times)... our friends let us borrow their canoe for fishing in the middle of the lake...
ethan learned to cast...
ethan learned that patience is required...( i think he thought the fish would immediately hook themselves to the tasty treat)
ethan learned that baiting a hook meant putting a LIVE worm on to a sharp hook...
but... at the end of the morning; which included thunder, lightning and rain... ethan reeled in his first(of many hopefully) rainbow trouts... 12.5 inches long... we think he was proud...

That is a HUGE fish for your first time!! Great job having the patience to wait for it:)
he must have gotten the patience thing from his mom...
