I am posting this all over the place because it’s the very best kind of Father’s Day gift.
Yesterday the wife, my youngest and I went up to Texoma on the Fly at Eisenhower State Park on Lake Texoma. I was tasked with teaching fly tying to beginners, mainly kids, for the TPWD Junior Angler Program. My son of course participated and although I wanted someone else to sit with him (old dad can be a bummer sometimes) I did get to sit and coach his foam spider. At the end, as they trundled off to entymology and the other stops, he asked me “can we tie flies when we get home?”
That made my day right there. But then, later on, I got a txt from my wife who was with him out on the lawn at the casting stop, that he was doing great and having a fine time at casting.
RR, Dadgummit, I missed the boat again. One of these days I’m gonna get on board and make the scene at a Texoma event.
Kelly even mentioned that she was going in an Email, and yet it still didn’t register until I saw your message here.
Sounds like you had a great trip, and hope you’ve gotten a new flyfisher “on the hook”.
Just got a call from my friend who took Kelly with him to Texahoma. He says he is goung to post a pic of the 9lb smallmouth he caught there. His wife accidentally caught Kelly’s hat and cast it out into the water! That all makes them real fishermen now. <grin>
Nope. Link is fine. I had no problem opening it and looking at it yesterday…and again this morning. Opens right up for me. Instantly. Soooo I dunno what’s up with this thing.
The smallmouth was 8lbs but caint git the picture off the phone to post it… I sent a picture of it to Kelly so if she wants to post it she can… I just dont know how…
If you get some up with flowers click on the first flower photo and when it comes up the Texoma on the Fly is on the right hand side of the screen, at least that’s how I got into it.
