I’ve been wanting to try something new, and when the opportunity came to go fishing with my extended family, I decided to give it a go. It’s not entirely new, but when I went to renew my fishing license, I realized I hadn’t had one for about 15 years. I also bought and tried out a tenkara rod, and that is very new to me. It’s been fun. I realized I didn’t stop fishing because I disliked it; it was simply something that I stopped doing when I was busy. Now that the kids are old enough to fish and not spend the whole time untangling lines, I think I will continue to go.

We went out on Strawberry Reservoir to fish. Lots of the family had football, so I took Evie and Henry. We caught a few rainbow trout and took a couple home to eat. We also camped for a night and got to see huge kokanee salmon.
