BEND IT LIKE LOUIE

BEND IT LIKE LOUIE

It is great to hear the excitement in the voices of children fishing around the lake. Louie, just 4 years old, from just up the road to the fishery bought his dad Chris along to the fishery on Sunday to catch a ‘rainbow’. He is a keen watcher of angling on U tube and the TV and knows all there is to know about fishing for brown trout, salmon, perch, eels, carp and various other fish including those monsters from Africa. His favorite phrase is ‘do you know’ and he then goes into a lengthy description on a topic. He is a great little kid and as they say ‘hooked’ on fishing. Any way his dream came true and he did not catch just one rainbow but 3. All around 3 pound which to a 4-year-old are monsters. He is a bit young to fly fish but is a dab hand at fishing with the float and worm. Look at the bend in the rod and the effort he is putting into this fish. At 3 pounds the fish are nearly as big as he is.

Great little lad, great fish and a great future in angling.
