 JAKES trout fishing event w/pics Pic heavy but worth the look if you like little kids and big fish! The James River NWTF Chapter in Bedford, VA just hosted its’ 4th trout fishing event this past weekend. 66 kids of all ages came out to enjoy a beautiful day and test their fishing skills. Some lunkers were caught and NO ONE fell in! Along with the kids we had 63 parents and 16 chapter volunteers on hand. Volunteers cooked hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch and then we had a door prize drawing for all the kids. Thanks to a very generous farm owner for letting us use his facilities.  Heading to the pond.  Lining the bank to fish.   What a view! Some of the kids with their fish.       This lucky young man reeled in a 6 lb bass on 4 lb test! Check out the look on his sisters’ face in the background. More little fishermen and fisherwomen.   Above is my favorite!  The girls held their own. Time for lunch!    Waiting for the door prizes.  Checking out the goodies.   Group photo.  At the end of the day we practiced what we preach… ”Leave it like you found it.”

Re: JAKES trout fishing event w/pics Only one word can describe it and that word is "Awesome". Great to get kids involved. Hope I have grandkids some day, as I want to spoil the hell out of them.
