First Time Fishing

We went up to Tibble Fork last night for a little family home evening.  If you know Dave and me, we are not what you would call anglers.  But meet, Lyle, my dad… After last night, Dave deemed him the Fish Whisperer.  That man calls to the fish somehow. In only 45 minutes, he had caught and released 10 whole fish! Being that this was Kate’s first introduction to fishing, we discovered she must have a little Lyle in her because she managed to catch a fish!!

Here’s daddy helping Kate get started…

And here they are reeling in her fish…

I wish I could have videoed the experience because there were squeals and screams coming out of Kate’s mouth that I had never heard before. She was so excited!  Oh, it was so fun!

Once the fish made it to shore, flopping all around, Kate quickly scrambled behind my legs.  It was all a little intense seeing a squirming fish up close!  I was so happy she got to catch a fish on her first time, though.

Momma and Kate…

Kate and her best cousin, Hayden… Such a fun night!
