And then Sunday was spent at the local pond...
James is a legitimate sight-fisher. Picking up where he left off last year, he was spotting sunnies, flipping at them and watching them eat. Still doesn't set the hook on 100% of them, but many more than last year. He hooked/played/landed quite a few.
Three interests here: fish, frogs, turtles. Both boys did some wet-wading (of their own accord), with no post-wading complaints.
Fishing with kids notes: (1) use little beadhead flies, size 16 - easy for sunnies to eat; (2) give the fly life - the sunnies become somewhat suspect of still presentations that are not live bait... a twitched fly or a fly pulled away from them will solicit charges and good takes.

Awesome. I would kill for some panfish spots around here.
Five minute drive. Fortunate to have it.
You've got a carp pond though.
