Anaconda Report post Posted September 29, 2018 Boy Scouts that is. Last weekend I took my sons scout troop on a camping and fishing trip to Courtright lake at 8,000 feet in the mountains east of Fresno, Ca. I take my 12 ft jon boat, and I take any boy that wants to go out fishing. No monsters, mostly 14 to 17 inches, but all ten boys that went out with me caught at least one. Several of the boys had never been fishing before. 6 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anaconda Report post Posted October 3, 2018 I really enjoy taking “first time” fishermen out and helping them get their first fish. I “pre-fish” the lake the day before, and I know what lures are working best, and where the trout are hanging out. I have several rods set up, go lines out and put the rods in holders. Tell the boys “just watch that rod tip, you’ll know when a fish hits it. The excited look on their faces when they get a fish on is priceless. Tonight I am going to finish teaching a few things to 5 Scouts, and in two weeks, they will get their “Fishing Merit Badge”. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
