Kids First Fish Ever

Teaching my new Step Children to fish by Eric and Iris. Xavier and Robert caught their first fish ever at Navajo Lake in Northwest New Mexico, It was the Highlight of their young life's. These days we get asked when we're going fishing again every week of the year. Its a wonderful thing to teach a child to fish, or should I say to catch.


This could be your child, grandchild or any kid you took fishing. Take a picture and send it to us. We will happily post it here for them.
