Learning to fish is on my #2021bucketlist.
When my kids were little, my husband occasionally took them fishing. Fishing time for them meant reading time for me, because I stayed in the car with my book.
Win-win.
Because I never had any interest in fishing. But now, suddenly, I do.
From years of watching North Woods Law, I knew I had that I had to get my fishing license before I could catch a fish. Check! Next, I needed a fishing rod. Check! Next on the list was learning to cast.
Even though it was nineteen degrees out yesterday, my husband decided that it would a great day to teach me how to cast.
We did attract a little attention from a passerby who wondered why we were trying to fish in the frozen-over pond … we had some ‘splainin’ to do.
Anyway, it went very well, and after about a dozen tries, I was deemed sufficiently proficient in casting.
Watch out fish! Here we come!
