Mar. 28, this Saturday, marks the opening day of trout season in my home state of Maryland. Many people will be lined up around a pond or lake, in hopes of catching their creel limit.
Me, well I'm more of a stream fisherman when it comes to trout. The freedom of stream fishing and the ability to be in the water is what draw me in. The oneness with nature one feels knee deep in water while casting a line is amazing.
Just to be in that moment where; bills, politics, and life troubles seem non-existent.
A mountain stream setting paints a beautiful scene, where the crisp morning air, the smell of the earth, and the sound of flowing water can all bring a taste of success with just one "bite."
Streams are a great place to introduce a child to the outdoors because of the freedom. You do not have to stay in one spot very long.
As we all know, children can have short attention spans, and moving around to different areas can make for a more enjoyable outdoor experience.
Youth have always been the key in the future of the outdoors. If you enjoy the outdoors, and teach young people the basic principles, they too will become more apt to live an outdoor lifestyle. If you get an opportunity, take a child on a Spring trout fishing adventure.
