South Lindon, Gradson's First Time

[callaghan48]

After diner today my Grandson Justin asked when he was going to try his fly fishing out fit that i bought him a while back,
I made a phone call to South Lindon to ask if i could bring him up so i could give him some tuition on the fly lake , they said yes and said he could fish for £5 for four hours,
I told him to get his kit out, talk about excited
I put on a floating line for him but the fish were not showing so out with intermediate and one of my Damsel's, and believe me this was the best time i have ever had with him in eleven years, took some cracking pics of the day out,

Anticipation

Its off Justin maybe next time,

One on but got off,

And another

OH BOY his first fish on the fly, talk about laugh he had hooked into a 6 1/2lb blue, sorry i couldn't do a think for the look on his face as the line was screaming through his fingers,

As for the fish it was landed after about ten minutes but as i was going to take the pic of a lifetime he dropped it
It must have been exhaustion

John.

Great John, start them young itll stop them going off the rails when they get older, my father used to drag me out when i was a kid to hawthorn hive when the snow lay on the ground at the time it was if i was being punished but after my first cod those winter nights all felt warmer. later in life when all my so called mates were getting into trouble i turned back to fishing and pleased i did

Spot on there Simon, He's a good lad stays with me every weekend since i lost my wife i would say my best friend
Lets hope he stays that way, i can see it costing me a small fortune with fishing fee's, but he's worth it.

John
