Fishing for Answers

For the last several months, our six year old grandson has been asking his grandfather questions regarding various fishing seasons.  "Papa, when's Trout season start?  Is it Pike season?  When can we catch Sunfish?"

Unfortunately, fishing has been at the bottom of our to do list over the last 40 years.  Not to mention, we've only been back to this area less than a year. 

The boy is tenacious.  

How else would we have learned


  • It's Trout and Salmon season
  • May is Pike season
  • Anytime is Sunfish season (although, I doubt we'll find any here, now)

We also learned another interesting tidbit.  There's a stretch along Lake Erie (north of us) called Eighteen Mile Creek, noted for some of the best Salmon fishing around.



*Three things I've learned from our grandson: Questions demand an answer, persistence pays off, and fishing is a means of communication.
