So I have a little boy, almost 4. He got an Echo practice rod when he was 2. He fished a Sage TXL2710 with a Sage Click II, he's really got a handle on streamer angling and has just started mixing it up with hopper-dropper rigs. He's banged out some sweet gold during high waters, I couldn't be prouder. We recently got back from a camping and fishing trip, and he said something that cut me to the core. He got his hands on classically coloured rainbow, he was blown away. He then told me the rainbow is now his favorite fish..... WTF? What did I do as a father to fail in such a manner? Rainbows.... come on, I told him they are the equivalent to Instagram butt models, no substance, no soul, just the same looks as next one. I did the only things I could think, I sprayed bug spray and SPF on his flies, broke his TXL over my knee and then took him to WalMart bought him an uglystick and some Raps. I think I'm going to head to the downtown browntown section with a bottle of wild turkey and contemplate my very existence. Thoughts? Flyfishy where you at sucka?

A few weeks ago, I saw both the Calgary Police and Calgary Fire boats on the river at the same while I was fishing. There was a very distinct difference in the way the Police boat was handled compared to the idiots in the Fire boat. The Police boat looked like it was being handled by adults and was travelling at a reasonable speed paying attention to the other users on the river. The Fire boat seems oblivious to other users and appeared to be intentionally driving at high speed by other users. Not very good PR for Fire Department.
