Pipestoneflyguy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 What an awesome afternoon ! You know that little pond by the ball diamond that you can see from Hwy 1 as you drive by Field BC It is never open or legal to fish except for today - The Parks biologist and the warden service opened it today for the Field School kindergarden class, and few of us lucky locals got to spend the afternoon partnered with a youngster teaching the basics of flyfishing. I was lucky to get my little guy "Forrest" onto the first fish which was about a 6-7 inch brookie which he landed while I was "net-boy". The learning part included examining almost every species in the park (live from electro), watching a disection and the most fun releasing the big bucket brookies back into the pond when we were all done. (and the other species were all delivered back to their origins) My envy of those of you who get to do this stuff for a living runs deep...
