Take Your Kids Fishing!

 

Nothing Beats a Day out on The Water With Your Kids
 
One thing I learned years ago was that it wasn't the act of catching fish that got me excited, but the actual being out on the water with my kids catching fish or simply being together.

 

 

Everytime I get out with my boys I have the best time imaginable and they usually catch more fish than I do lately. Whether it's fishing for snook in Florida, local Bass ponds or trout water, they enjoy every minute of it.

It's time to plan another adventure it seems!

What makes it special?
Mysis Relicta is a small freshwater shrimp that fishery managers introduced into reservoirs throughout the west during the 1950s-1970s as a food source for trout and Kokanee (land-locked salmon). The resulting devastation from introducing a non-native, such as the Mysis, was unpredicted. The Mysis fed heavily upon the same zooplankton in the reservoir that juvenile salmon and trout needed as a food source. However, the tailwater section of the river benefited from this misguided management.

Fryingpan Trout:
Trout in the Fryingpan River feed heavily upon the Mysis shrimp that flush through the bottom of the dam. The top two miles flowing out of the reservoir hold the highest numbers of Mysis in the water column, where giant trout swell under the high protein diet and end up looking more like Olympic weightlifters than beaver pond bookies.
