Don't Bite Me!

We are finishing up our family vacation near Lake George, NY. We found a park near by suitable for kid fly fishing. Within the first few casts we hooked a pickerel on a wet fly. This junior member of the pike family sports some pretty nasty chompers: hence the steady apprehension in David’s eyes. Shortly after I snapped this picture our little pickerel started snapping wildly. He was released without incident.

Later in life I will introduce David to pike, and muskie fishing. But first he has to grow big enough to knock one out with an oar. Anyone who has ever put one in the boat knows what I am talking about.
