Hi Janice:

Just wanted to share my 'fish story.' I'm sure you'll enjoy it, just don't fall off your chair.

When I was a little boy, my dad 'made' a fishing rod for me. Hey, I was 11 years old and my dad could make anything. Anyways, he made it from a tree branch, about four foot long, and some string (not sure what type) and he tied a fishing hook on the end.

I was fishing below a small dam and I had a 'bite'. I 'yanked' on the 'rod' and the fish landed on the stream bank. it 'flopped' about three times on the grass, back in the water, and away it swam. DRATS !!!!!! It was close to 12-inches long.

So, that was the one that 'got away' and I'm sticking to my story

I found a recipe, but you will have to look under my blogs. I didn't want to 'post' it twice. Hope you understand, and happy fishin'.

janice,

i am so envious that you live on the river. it has always been my dream to live on the river. i have had a fishing and boating license for YEARS but have never done either. last time i fished was in a father-son( they didn't have father-daughter back then, so i had to be a boy) tournament in 1980. i still dream about the peaceful water and the fresh air!!!!

i hope you have a great time!!!
