[Rodney]

Many of us including Rod do not have to land a fish on every outing to make it rewarding.

How did I get included in this? After 8 hours of total driving time this week, I needed to land a fish!

Nice report rod. I'm glad the usual hole produced for your old man. Sorry about the inaccurate bear report but catching a fish is worth the risk anyway right!?!

My dad described the "bear encounter" experience "horrifying" because he said the bear was 500m away, that's too close for his comfort. I said it wasn't 500m away, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see what it was, it was no more than 100m away.

I told you what you have to do. My landing ratio is poor but I have had so many chances and fish on this pass week once I changed my tactics, no I have not taken up flossing or long lining.

you're so lucky to be able to fish with your dad...it's been years since I've gone with mine, unfortunately because of arthritis and a heart condition his fishing days are pretty much over.  

great photo Rod and best of health to your father.  

There is common theme to this thread....you are blessed to have your father be able to fish with you Rod....Many of us were introduced to fishing by our fathers. Most a bit too young to appreciate the experience. What I wouldn't give to be able to enjoy the experience again with my Dad, now as an adult.... to all our Fathers.......cheers!
