Fishy Fun!! By: Stella

Last weekend Dad, Leo, Rus and I (Stella) went fishing at the Franklin Falls Dam. It was really fun! There were two park rangers there who taught us some fishing techniques-which was awesome for us because we are amateurs at fishing. :) The man who used to live at our house had given us three fishing poles and we had gotten interested in fishing. We have enjoyed it but it really was cool to learn from two experienced people! We hopped in the car loaded with poles, waters, cameras, and snacks. When we got there with our gear-not knowing what to expect, we were quickly supplied with live-bait and fishing tackle. We were soon dipping our poles into the water. Shortly afterward, we were rewarded with bites. We had sooo much fun! Leo, Rus and I caught several fish- Leo caught five, I caught five (including a bass, which really gave me a struggle :D), and Rus caught two. We got several fish that got away too! It was our first fish that we had caught, and we went home having had a really cool trip!!! As I mentioned we got pictures! Here they are...
