I really like tenkara fishing (either method or with the equipment). In fact, I would say that 99% of my fresh water fishing is exclusively tenkara related. However, today I decided to go "old school", at least for me. I first learned to fish when I was about 5 or 6 when my Dad taught me. Back then fishing meant going to a local lake for pickerel, perch, bass, catfish or panfish. It also meant using a worm or a good 'ole Mepps spinner.
I have fond memories when I look back on those days. I can distinctly remember after my Dad coming home from work quickly finishing dinner and heading down to this one old guys house to pick up a big Styrofoam cup full of night crawlers and then heading off to Chadwick Lake. Today....I just felt like using some worms, catching some trout and spending some time outdoors (before Sandy gets here). By the end of the trip I had my trout and felt like I was a kid again.
Nothing wrong with trying to bring back some fine memories of your youth.
ReplyDeleteFarewell through "Sandy" my friend.
Thanks and the same to you Alan. The hatches have been batten down as the wind has picked up. Just sitting around waiting for the power to go out.
