Teaching Kids to Fish Part Deux




On a sunny fall day, the Captains of Mikey D Fishing took on one of their biggest challenges to date... Teaching Jamie Pierce to fish.   After several mild corrections ("Its not a pole, it's a rod.  We're not cane fishing on a pond"), we arrived at Rainbow Paradise.   It truly was a Rainbow Paradise... lots of large, hungry, and captive trout of all variety, eager to help Jamie learn the fine art of Fly Fishing.  Captain CC provided excellent instruction, and soon Jamie was on the fish!   We caught a few tiger, rainbow, and even a brook trout, using both a San Juan Worm and a beetle.  Capt Joe was on hand to demonstrate different casting techniques, and both the Captains got some time to get on the fish themselves.  We followed up the day with a final few casts at Fishing Creek in pursuit of a beautiful golden trout, but he was not very interested that evening.  


Great day with Mikey D Fishing... teaching and fishing.  It's what they do best.
