I like that in the summer I get to go on many family trips from nature exploration canoe trips to family fishing trips. It is great fun to share these moments with families from around the globe. Every trip brings all of that kid excitement and eager anticipation.
Sometimes the worms are as fascinating as any fish that I might get them to catch or like today the smallest member of the party catches the biggest fish (and in fact one that any adult would be delighted to have on the end of their line).
The thing that I always enjoy is that the kids are doing something for the very first time and enjoying almost every minute. I know, not every minute, sometimes it seems to be to slow. Or like Saturday when it took me an hour to finally land on the good perch fishing. Or it ends too soon; this young lady was standing in the boat ramp at the end of the trip long after the boats had been loaded onto the trailer waiting patiently to catch just one more perch or sunfish. Sometimes what I do is too rewarding for words!

fishing/canoeing trips
thank you so much don. your canoeing/fishing excursions really fit the bill. a few hours fishing with you on that beautiful lake is the first thing our kids ask for when we go to maine. you are a great guide for the little ones...very patient and full of interesting facts about the surroundings. very educational. and my wife and i find it truly peaceful paddling behind you and our kids in a canoe on that nice, quiet lake near rockport. we'll be seeing you again the next time we come up.
