Fishing in Kentucky


We had our first experience fishing a Kentucky river last weekend. Two brothers from church took the children and I. It begun before dawn when they picked us up, the next stop was McDonald's for the compulsory chicken biscuit and sweet tea, also compulsory was country music on the way. We caught no fish, probably due to several inches of rain the day before and a flooded river but the kids and I still had a lot of fun.
We were fishing down the bottom and up the top of this dam. apparently it is normally a trickle and you can easily walk across it.
Fishing here in America still involves putting a worm on a hook, not Anna-Marie's favourite part of fishing.

Joel and Rachel wading with Eli. The only catch of the day were fresh water crayfish which later escaped in our house. Anna-Marie found one by standing on it with bare feet; yuk! She wasn't very impressed.





Rachel and Joel ended up very wet. Joel fell in a few moments after this photo was taken as his hand is right by a snake that he hasn't seen yet. He got quite the fright.
