Weather and Fish

by Madeleine DiMedio (age 11)

Fishing is a lot of fun for the whole family. But, what if it rains? You can still go fishing! Fish love the rain. They love the rain because that is like their camouflage and they can get down stream better.

Fish hate when it is sunny outside. Their colors can show and their camouflage is gone. If it is sunny, make sure you cast your line into a shady spot.

Be sure to keep quiet when your fishing, otherwise the fish will leave.

Make sure your fly is on tight or the fish will eat it. When you catch a fish, be gentle when you take the hook from its mouth (if you are fishing catch and release.)

Catch and Release fishing is fun way to fish. It is saving the fish and you are enjoying catching a fish. You are helping to keep fish alive and for them to have children.

I think that catching and eating or hanging the fish on a wall is cruel. That is just my opinion. I don't really eat fish anyway.

Bring a camera to cherish those moments of catching a fish.

Well, go have fun fishing. Whether it is raining or sunny!
