March 26, 2016 – Mentored Youth Day: Right Day, Wrong County—Good Times, Anyway!

Well, I swore I read that the PFBC was stocking the Wissy in my neck of the woods before Mentored Youth Day, but no fish are being dumped until March 31. Three generations of the family—the boy, Pop, and I—should have known when we had the creek to ourselves, with the exception of one other father/son team who had it wrong too. I was trying to maximize convenience, so we started fishing about 500 yards from my house. Once I realized the mistake, I knew if I took the ride down to the City where they did stock, I would have lost my son’s interest (and he had a play date with a bud at noon), so we took water temps, practiced casting, and basically had a nice walk in the woods on a crisp and sunny March morning. If I actually brought bait, we may have landed a sucker or two, but hindsight is 20/20. The boy was happy to be out with Dad and Pop, and he got a McDonald’s lunch and a lot of snacks out of me. Ward and I are going to try it again with his girls on Opening Day, so let me know if I have the dates wrong….. It is next week, right? Yikes!
