LESSONS LEARNED THROUGH FISHING story by Rebecca Giese Two things I know to be true, my dad loves his family, and he also loves to fish. Growing up, we spent a lot of time with a fishing pole in hand. Whether it was a small trout pond or off-shore fishing, he was always eager to get out there and try a new location, lurer, pole, reel, and just fish. I never and still don't understand the fascination with long hours of just waiting and hoping for a fish to bite. My patience is limited for such an activity, but if my dad asked me to go fishing tomorrow, I would say yes, dig for worms like I did as a little girl, and spend hours watching the bobber. Why? Because he loves it and I love him. As I grow up, I see how precious those evenings on the pond are and how lucky I am to have a dad that took me fishing, taught me that the best things in life are worth the wait, and to slow down to enjoy the little things. Maybe you need some inspiration for your next father-daughter fishing trip? I have collected a list of ponds, creeks, rivers, state parks, and lakes for you to try this summer!
