Not many fish where I live, but anyhow...

There was a time when I went fishing every chance I got, took the kids from babies onwards - very hard trying to bait a toddler's hook while keeping it out of reach from baby in a pouch!! - finally I gave in to hubby-pressure and stopped subjecting myself to hooks in weird places until they grew a bit (babies not hooks) ... and then we moved to the desert ...

I took the kids fishing last year - the locals were a bit stunned and wanted to know how we could catch fish in the river that is "dry", making a few wisecracks along the way about catching shrivelled fish - but we had fun, even if it was bait sized.

Great stuff and good on ya for getting them into it. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] My favourite memories are as a kid catching little brim in a creek that you could jump over.
