Family Fishing Day

Every year on the Fish Washington Free Weekend our church has a "Family Fishing Day" .  We gather together and bring all manner of things that float (Wavewalks did most of the fishing) and take all who would like to come fishing.  We have a picnic potluck at 1pm.  This year we went to Lake Devereaux.  There were a bunch of little fishermen that got to catch their first fish ever!  I got to be the one that helped them.  Since there is no real shore fishing, I would take them out in the W700 and once the fish was hooked up let them reel it in.  When they caught one fish I would bring them back and get the next kido.   The stocked trout were plentiful and willing and the kids had a blast.  Here are a couple of favorite pictures of the day.  You can see all the pictures here : https://www.facebook.com/wellspringfellowshipGH/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10153654275936961

What an awesome day for you and the kids.  That excitement level is pretty fun to be around.

Those smiles are awesome, what fun!

That is an awesome thing you are a part of!! I know how frustrating it can be at times to get kids fishing, but you're helping them make memories that will last a lifetime!

Thanks!  It is definitely on of my favorite events of the year. The adults that don't go fishing enjoy themselves as well!

Sweet!  Love to see parents take the time to get kids out!  Great job!

There are a lot of people who did not grow up fishing and so this might be their first and only introduction to fishing.   I think the fish WA free day is an excellent program and well worth it. The redhead in curls and the blue and yellow life jacket is my granddaughter.

That's awesome to see the kids having so much fun but please if those fish are being released teach the kids not to stab a finger thru the gills, that's sure death for a fish

Fish were not released I cleaned them or filleted them and sent them home.
