Last year and earlier this year 2 local boys used to come worming with their mums or dads and got hooked on trout fishing. Earlier this year cousins, Owen 9 and Rhys 13 invested their pocket money and presents into their first fly fishing gear and have been coming to the lake to fly fish where many anglers have invested their time into teaching these 2 lads how to fly fish. several of the anglers have also given the lads flies to use.
Yesterday they came and their mum asked me to look after them while they fished. Entirely on their own they managed one rainbow for Owen and 3 to the net for Rhys. All fish were landed and returned fighting fit.
When Owen hooked this lovely fish all I could here was "its a monster". Rhys ran to help land the fish and the rest is history.
If only all kids were this polite and pleasant the world would be a much better place.
