What fun! Great to see dads with their kids fishing! I can always plan on having fun when I go fishing, whether I catch or not. One of the few things
in life that can guarentee that for me. Good for you, Alex is a very lucky young man indeed.
Those are lovely rainbows indeed and the pike, never seen someone fly fishing for them.
Please tell us where you were? I don't know these places, save for the Katmai.
We plan a four month Alaska trip next summer and I hope to fish the streams. Are there Northern Pike in Alaska?
Great post for us fisher people.

Who can resist threads about kids and fishing? Not moi. Here's the old man (not so old then) and three of my four, the girls Lisa and Coleen and my
son Dirk. The boy in the back is Marshall, Dirk's roommate at Cal Poly SLO. That day we learned what a big thresher shark can do to a yellowfin.
See the front end of the yellowfin hanging on the rack:
Here's Dirk fighting his first striped marlin at Punta Pescadero:
Here's Dirk's first marlin, tagged and released. Note the tag in the foreground:

I almost forgot. Here's how we introduced our little one Jesse to fishing. In spite of this, he ended up liking it:

Ken,
Both keepers!
I can still remeber the feeling of my fathers arms around me as he rowed a boat out to fish for walleye in Minn. when I was six. Wonderful memories
built right into my body. What a gift!

Igor,
What fun to read about your adventure, and as always, I love your photos.
It is, however, a real shock to see how much Alex has changed in less than a year? Canīt remember which month you were here. Really glad to see him
still enjoying fishing.
Look forward to the next time you visit here.
Thanks for sharing.
Diane

Not at all, Ken. If this is hijacking then let's have more of it.
I am so grateful that you decided to share your pictures of your family. It somehow shows the whole person I think. There's no greater joy than family
happiness and those pictures show it.
That picture of you as a younger man is really something. I'm having difficulty telling you apart from your kids.

I love those pictures of DAD, Robin.
They really show what it was to be a man and an outdoorsman in our generation. I don't if it's the black and white image or what, but I can really
relate to men from that time and also guys seem different now.
I just figure it out. The sport was simpler back then. There were no $500 sage rods and layered outdoor wear. Men fished in their tanktops and took
drags between casts. And caught eye popping size fish.
Great pictures.

Hopefully they'll come to realize that these fishing trips are about more than just fishing.

"Can we go fishing?"
..was probably my first full sentence.
2 generations later it's still pretty common.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Northern Pike and Walleye Waters
1951 - My Dad getting fish fillets ready for that favorite of any Far North fishing trip.....walleye shore lunch.
2001 - I'm in a rut fifty years later at the same Far North lake..making the same walleye shore lunch.

This has been a fantastic thread, thanks Igor for starting it and for the u2u. I'm glad I didn't "moose" out on seeing that one!
As always,

Ken, I agree. I grew up on a river in the north woods of Minnesota and caught countless Northerns and Walleyes. Caught a 24 pound Northern as a
teenager and still remember the thrill. A shore dinner of fresh walleye in beer batter remains one of my top culinary experiences. Best freshwater
fish I've ever eaten.

Thank you for sharing pictures of your dad, pompano. And before I go I wanted to perhaps take you back down memory lane to that canoe trip you took as
a young man through the canadian wilderness with your best friend.
Nena, the vertical is the one I wrote about that seemed to capture the mood of our stay on the island. It was taken from our 'dining area'.

This post has brought back many memories to me also.
Skipjack your last few pictures take me back years ago to a trip in the Boundary Waters of No. Minnesota and Canada. Six of us in 3 canoes led by my
father-in-law.
Walleye dinners, fresh picked blue berries on pancakes all the while being sung to by Loons. Seven days and dozens of lakes, an unforgettable trip.
Thanks all
Ken
