Fishing With My Boys On The Rideau

I guess it's every dad's dream to spend time doing what he loves with his children. Thanks to the kindness of my wife's cousins, my boys and I have been able to spend time together fishing on the Rideau. The cousins have a place just north of Kingston and they have graciously offered us the use of it for a while the past two summers. My older boy is a very serious university student and has many years of study behind him and still ahead. He really appreciates the chance to unwind and fish alongside his younger brother and his dad. We catch a few bass and a few pike but we really have a blast fishing for bluegills and crappies from the kayaks and float tubes.

I really enjoy watching my sons catch fish and supplying them with my hand tied jigs. They are impressed at how well they can catch fish with dad's " fur and feather stuff"


There was even a new personal best bluegill for Dad on our visit in July of this year.
