Fishing At Apple Hill

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to create an artificial shortage of fish and he will eat steak.

Trevor, Joe and I went to Apple Hill on Sunday. I took the picnic basket with carrot muffins and sparkling blueberry juice and we went fishing.

All the boys from the lake crowd around Trevor and Joe, probably because Joe is the coolest big kid at the pond. Trevor catches his first fish and a look of pure happiness shines across his face. The fish gets away once it gets in Joe's hands and goes back in the water. Joe forgot how slippery they are.

Within minutes of trying for a second time, Trevor gets another fish, a rainbow trout I believe. I'll post the pictures of him fishing next weekend. I can't even describe how wonderful it was. He was so happy to take that fish up and watch it get cleaned. He brought it home for the family to have some for dinner that night.

The funniest part of the experience was when Trevor and Joe caught the second fish, an "adult" came up and helped them secure the fish. Second funniest part, Joe got fish-slime all on his pants and smelled like the pond for the rest of the day.
