We had an amazing day fishing at the Mt. Shasta Hatchery. They allowed kids under 12 (with help from parents) to come fish in the pond there. The kids had a blast. Grandpa and Jeremy were so busy putting bait on lines that they missed most of the action. The kids were catching fish about 1 a min. The first time we put the net in to bring up a fish Kyla caught we came out with 2 fish. It was crazy.

Kyla proudly displays Gracie, her rainbow trout. Gracie will be served for dinner tonight.
This is James before he got sprayed with blood from the fish he caught.
He did not find that amusing.

Jeremy and Ella get ready to real up a big one.

A guide at the Hatchery teaches Jaden how to take the fish off the hook.

Grandpa adds to our amazing haul.

Kyla and Ella hang out at the park before lunch.
We went on a hike to work up an appetite.
The kids had fun crossing the plywood bridges. Each one narrower then the next.
Jaden drinks from the headwaters of the Sacramento river. It was delicious!

That would have been fun. I bet the hike was nice and peaceful. I always liked catching the fish but never gutting the fish. But I bet your fish tasted good! Fresh fish always tastes better then Old fish from the store. Looks like you guys had a fun filled day!
