Fished with my daughter today

Way to go Rusty. Great pics and good memories. I had the opportunity to fish with one of my daughters at RR earlier this year. We didn't catch alot of fish but it was one of my best trips this year.

Those are great pictures. My grandkids backed out at the last minute so I didn't make the Kid's day in the park. I think there is another one in August or so.

Great pics...and I knew it was the featherlight soon as I saw it. Can't mistake that yellow blank..and so glad you got out with her and it was a successful day. That rod is great for kids starting out. Bet she is hooked now.

Holy cow, I don't see another soul in that picture, looks like she had the hole to herself. I took my daughter to Meramec Spring Saturday for the kids day, it was a zoo, elbow to elbow kids. Like opening day scene at the whistle, only all day long. We finally got into a good spot around 230 or 300 p.m. and she got her limit in about 25 minutes, but it was crazy. I would like to take to her RR one day, I grew up around Monett and fished there for years. Yep, my first 'good' fly rod was a 7' six wt. Eagle Claw just like in the photo, bought it when I was around 14 or 15, those things are great.

mhall. We have been waxing nostalgia with those Eagle Claws. I have the 6'6" and the 7'. They are readily available and sure fun to fish.

Notice the two front teeth missing. She lost one four months ago. I made the comment, that if she lost the other one too, she would miss out on this years corn on the cob. The other tooth should have been pulled a month ago, but she was determined not to lose it. Little brother pushed her into the sofa arm while they were wrestling, and guess what...Out it popped. She cried not because it hurt, but because she is going to miss out on the corn.

KFF, We had a great time except for two encounters from the same group. Would have liked to met you, maybe next time, or we can get togther and fish one of these days. I did meet a fella from Pittsburg yesterday. His daughter and mine hit it off, and the fishing was soon forgotten. On the way home though she asked when we were going back.

Rusty, what kind of reel did you put on in it? I thought about getting myself on for father's day for the kids/wife to use, if I could ever get them to go.

It's a Cortland Embassy 60. I have it lined up with Cortland 333 WF4F. It is a great combination.

Your welcome. I can't wait to do it again.

Sounds good to me. I'll be taking my granddaughter back several times this year so hopefully we can meet up.
