First Time Fishing


Overhead the sky was clear blue.  A few clouds were scattered here and there breaking up the expanse.  The surface of the lake was calm and serene.  Granite rock created islands covered with pine trees and shrubs. 

Surrounded by wilderness the couple in the boat sat waiting for the slight tug, tug, tug of a fish on the line.  With a whisper she announced the catching of her first fish.

The pole tip up, the crank of the reel and a scoop of the net landed a fifteen-inch Walleye in the boat.  That night’s dinner went into the live well.
