Kendra caught her first fish today!!! Terry caught one as well and we have the pictures to prove it. Click through here to see the day's photos: Kendra's First Fish Gallery

These images are from our afternoon fishing trip out to Wilson Commons Pond on Friday.The pond has a resident beaver that just swims back and forth across the water. It taunted us at one point as it swam past us with a fish in its mouth and we didn’t catch a single fish there.

Our fishing trip today was out to Davis Creek which is where the action happened. We set up on the side of the water where snow was still present and proceeded to slide all over the place.

Kendra baited her own hook, using marshmallow power bait and reeled it in as quickly as she could. Since loosing a few off the hook last year, she was not about to let this one get away. While Terry was helping her with her rainbow trout, his line caught a trout and both fish would end up being the only catches of the day.

In honor of  Kendra making her first catch, Terry taught her how to clean it  herself.

Next weekend we hope the weather is good so we can take Donovan and Ciarra out fishing, perhaps we will have more happy "first fish" pictures.

*Update* Donovan and Ciarra managed to catch their first fishes to! We went back out to Davis Creek, where after a few hours of bordeom the kids caught their own fish and got all excited. Of course, we didn't teach them to clean their own yet but they did get to watch Terry as he showed them how he got it done.
