Another great kids event hosted by the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club. We only had 1-hour to fish on Saturday, and got there a bit late. THe short was lined with eager anglers, but everyone having a good time. I started my granddaughter out with pink power bait, and she has 5 very nice quality fish in short order. We released all but two, and one was a very nice fish in the 18" range. We came back in the evening when we had more time, and I switched her to spoons so she could get in some casting practice. We alternated between a brass/red Fiord spoon and a small brass Wobble-Rite. Both worked equally well, and she was catching fish about as fast as she could cast/reel. We ended up with 10 very nice fish, and again all but 2 were released unharmed. One was another very nice fish in the 18" class the literally swallowed the spoon, which end up being her last fish of the evening. Thanks to all the folks at the Everett Club who make these events possible. Anyone with kids who would like to get them into sportfishing would do well to support the great work these folks do.

And a last comment about the adult angler who are can't seem to read. THe north pond is for kids only. I know it's a temptation to do a little poaching when you don't think anyone is watching, but not only does it show absolutely no class, but it takes away from the enjoyment of the kids who have too few spots all to their own as it is. So if you're at Twin Lakes fishing the kids pond and see a grandfather and his grand daughter, keep in mind, I have a cell phone with a camera, and I have the local wardens number programmed into my phone.....
