Another Fisherperson Joins the Ranks

Niece Sarah is visiting us at the lake this Labor Day weekend. Here is her dog, Dayton, awaiting her return from a walk. Dayton was put out on the porch, while Aunt Kathie and Sarah went walking, and since Dayton needed to be able to stand watch, she decided that being on top of the cushions on top of the picnic table would give her an ideal position from which to see her owner's return.

Like her mother, Sarah thought it would be fun to learn to fish. So we equipped her with her with her Grandfather's fishing rod and took her out. After some practice casting, Sarah got right into the hang of things. She caught three fish in total, all of which were returned to the lake to grow larger and to fight another day. Here is her first fish--a small but nice walleye.

Here is fish number two, another pretty walleye. (And locals had been telling us that walleye weren't biting!)

And, finally, fish number three, a good-sized bluegill. Like her mother, Sarah said, "This could be addictive." I won't be surprised if she suggests more fishing tomorrow!
