Since my son was home from college for the holidays and we had a free day we hit the river for a few hours. Air temp was 36 and the water temp was 38. The river was running high but clear.
We managed to land 8 nice rainbows and 1 brown in a few hours of fishing. Even though the water temp was cold these fish seemed very active and were slamming our lures and once hooked put up a great fight! All fish released as always.
Here are a few photos...

Great shots. The best ones are with family imo.
I am looking forward to taking my sons this spring. They are 8 and 10.

Re: Day On The River With My Son
When I started taking my son at a young age (now 21), I made sure to make the day not just about fishing but about exploring the river area. Basically give them time to be kids!BiggerThomas wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 7:58 amGreat shots. The best ones are with family imo.

Re: Day On The River With My Son
If you dont see immediate interest with your kids in fishing, give it time. My dad took me out a few times as a kid. Took me years later to actually get into fishing. Just randomly one day wanted to, I think having my own car helped with that.
I think ways that my dad could have done better showing me the sport; not give your kid the spare leaky waders Dont do the same lol!
