This post is mainly for those wanting to get kids into fish.
I have been taking different young people to Fish Lake once a week for the last 4 weeks. We start out spending a couple hrs. dead drifting catching a few trout. I have then been taking them into the weeds for catching perch. These kids have been 6yrs. to 70yrs old. The young ones just love the perch catching. I watch their fishing skills improve dramatically over a couple hrs. Being able to see the fish keeps their attention, course catching a fish every couple minutes helps a lot with this. If a person has really any experience at all they can catch one every minute. If you didn't have to take em off it would be a lot faster.
One of the big benefits is it's a lot cooler. When we left at 2pm on Fri. it was 74 degrees.
