Tick Reservoir

 Fishing fever hit our house pretty hard on Sunday...well to be fair it hit Saturday.

 Knowing our pond was still a little under the weather for fishing we decided to give the Reservoir a try.

I warned the boys that the ticks were in season. They called me crazy. There are no ticks in Minnesota in March!

 Matthew's first fish was a BASS! His first on a fly rod. This made his day.

 He gave it a good study before throwing it back.

 Yep, he has become quite the little fisherman.

 Like his safety glasses? Ha! Mike rolled his eyes when he saw the pair I grabbed. 

 The boys caught 21 fish between the two of them in a little over an hour. 

 Oh, and four ticks! I caught 3 of those. I guess laying down in the tall grass during tick season is a bad idea. You have to do what you have to do to get the shot.

Here is a short little video of him catching his first Bass on a fly rod. It was kind of the back end of the catch. I was setting up my camera to video him and before I could finish he had caught a fish.
