For those of you keeping score at home, we did get in one more trout fishing trip we haven’t posted about yet. The day before youth turkey season Ann and I took off and reclaimed Henry and Oliver from her parents, who kept them all of spring break. It had been a busy week for the boys. Upon arriving at the grandparents house, they had assessed its defense and found it to be vulnerable, so they had to construct this hasty fighting position. Once it was complete they were more secure.
Neither of the boys were any too anxious to get up early and leave the grandparents to go trout fishing, but we made them do it anyway. This time Ann and I decided to try to get them in on the fast-action of the few minutes following the opening bell. It worked, and both boys caught a fish. Actually, Oliver caught two, but one was a small perch. We had breakfast and then tried it some more for the rest of the morning, but it was pretty slow and we just ended up leaving with three fish.
We now have enough trout on hand to tackle several of the recipes in the book. The next priorities are morels, turkey, spoonbill and walleye.
