Niece's First Northern Fishing Trip

[Ragman]

I know that this is primarily a hunting website, but I thought I would post some pics from our northern Saskatchewan fishing trip this past June. My 11 year old niece, Maia, had a pretty rough spring in 2015 as her parents separated, so my father and I decided that we would pull her out of school for a week and take her on our annual fishing trip to Reindeer Lake. Despite poor weather, we got rained on for two and a half days out of four, Maia had the time of her life. She has informed Dad and I that we are not allowed to go back without her and all she wants for Christmas is her own tackle box and hooks! Lol! She's quite a kid, and I'm a proud uncle!

I like hunting fish!

Nothing like bending the graphite with a good fish on.

Good to hear she wants to do it again!

youre the cool uncle , rags
nothing better than a bush kid
except a bush kid that fishes aswell
specially a girl bush kid that fishes
reminds me of my daughter at that age , sadly her tackle box lives in the shed now , and when she comes fishing , she no longer ties her own lures , or un hooks her fish
except , one week end a year , when her and three of her friends , take my ute up high for the week end .....
for their girls autumn break , as they call it ...

That sounds like a great trip and memories for a lifetime for all of you. It's amazing what a hunting or fishing trip can do for you after life hands you a rough patch.

I totally agree. Fishing and hunting were instrumental in helping me get through my divorce in 2012. It's the greatest therapy there is!

I read this quote years ago and have thought about it often: "There comes a time in every man's life when he is either going to go fishing or do something worse." -Havilah Babcock
