Is there such thing? In our circle of life, yes, yes indeed.

Fishing has been a lifetime passion for our sons. It fit the bill years ago when they were young, when little money was floating around for exciting excursions for a family of seven on one income.

However, we had friends whose ponds were brimming with fish, and bubbly, cool mountain streams that called their names and won their hearts forever to fishing. Only equipment needed: one fishing pole per son. That was attainable.

It has been said what goes around comes around. Fishing has come full circle. Our grandsons fish like pros. I love going to “wet a line” with them. I am the main cheerleader and photographer. The fish call them from our pond and a generous neighbor who allows them access on his ponds as well.

As soon as their feet touch the ground here, they are off to the ponds. Only a whistle brings them in.

Their fathers have taught them well.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.
