#0201 "Gone Fishin'"

From 1989...
This is my son at the fishin' bridge on the Bighead River south of Meaford doing what needed to get done. Not much really. All you need are rubber boots and a ball cap. The stick to play with is optional.

Hooks have been known to get stuck in the willow on the opposite bank or even caught on rocks and logs that lie on the bottom of the Bighead River. They do not make rubber boots high enough to stop you from getting a soaker trying to retrieve your hook, line and sinker. The rubber boots simply hold the water in until it gets warm against your foot and no one really cares anyway. Black, low albedo boots work best under sunny conditions.

The steelhead don't normally bite in the afternoon but we didn't care... it was a beautiful day! As it turned out, we didn't catch anything but we did make some memories.
 For this and much more art...
