Well, week 1 of 6 with the kids is done.
Hookjaw talked me into helping out with the program this year, and I really enjoyed the 1st week. After getting all the registering done and T-shirts passed out, we had a demo on the improved clinch knot... I won't comment on the teacher... All I will sat is.. wow... [laugh]
I volunteered to teach an intermediate class, flyfishing. Things went well, but with so little space, it was hard for the kids. They learned a little entomology (sp?) and a little about casting. They were all chomping at the bit to go fishing, so off we went with the bait rods... not enough room for them to cast with a fly rod. Fishing was pretty slow... A few bluegill and that was it. It was supposed to be stocked with trout, but apparently it didn't happen. Hopefully by next week.
