Canadian Fishing

So today, I experienced my first taste of Canadian fishing. Kristen's dad and I packed up fishing gear and headed down towards the dam to do some fishing. First we stopped by this boat launch and casted into the water for about a half hour. I managed to catch a sunfish and that was about the extent of what Lou and I caught. We then drove to the dam and walked down to the water. Lou caught a couple of small mouth bass and I caught nothing. After that, we basically kept the fish fed. I would cast my line in the water and within seconds, all of the little fish would nibble my worm off! I started using the artificial worm instead because I was getting so sick of losing my worms. We finally decided to go home after the storm clouds started to roll in. We got back to the house and charged the boat and are planning on going after dinner out into the water. Hopefully we will have better luck tonight. Large mouth bass perhaps? Pike? Perch? Anything?! Clouds are still over the house, so may not be able to go out on the water tonight. Only 11 days left here, boo hoo! I am having a lot of fun here and love getting to know Kristen's parents. Hopefully these last 11 days don't go by too fast. I get back to Edinburgh on the 15th and have a week off until classes start up again. Hope everyone is doing well and will talk to you all soon!
