So my daughter texts me ( she doesn’t call, she texts) and says “ Dad I want to fish with you this weekend, I’m off Saturday and Sunday.”

So I ask her East or West. She says West, so we went to a lake that’s not in N.E. Colorado.

Had a good day of action. Pumpkin/brown 2 1/2 inch tubes on 1/16 jig heads got the job done.

I popped em off the bottom and did a slow retrieve, while Sahara did a straight but painfully super slow retrieve.

Honestly she out-fished the old man with her tactic ( the girl can fish).

We saw weather coming in and had about a half an hour right before the storm hit of really hot action , with hook-ups about every third cast.

Got to love those pressure changes right before a storm rolls in

Best day on the water I’ve had this year, due largely to my company for the day.

Of the three kids she has the most enthusiasm, though all 3 will eat fresh caught fish eagerly and game, especially venison, without hesitation and in fact consider it a treat.

If I take them I try and make it about the adventure and get them to talking about their lives rather than sheer focus on fish catching, but that's just how it works for me.

They are a bit too old for that now. A few years ago, when I first made the threat, I could sense a tiny bit of doubt in the younger ones' eyes. Now they just kinda roll their eyes. :) They've pointed out that "mom says she is done having babies." Well, I could still adopt... "Sure, dad."
