May 2006

It was the Victoria long weekend, year 2006 in May. We planned to go to Ottawa to see the tulip festival but the weather turned out to be rainy and stormy so dad suggested that we go fishing in Lindsay, a small town north of Toronto. <><

How to get there

With another family, we drove toward 401 east, heading north at exit 436 after half an hour; Then we followed Highway 115/35 towards further north. After one hour, we arrived at Lindsay, a very small but beautiful town. We found a small motel called Kent Inn. We parked our cars in the parking lot beside the motel and we checked in. <><

Fishing

After lunch we went fishing in a nearby river. But we caught only 4 small fishes after a few hours. Then we decided to change to another place where there is a small dam right at the cross of Kent Street and Lindsay street. And we found there were already quite a lot of people that started fishing there. <><

We quickly equipped our fishing rods, stood on a bridge and started fishing. This time is completely different. Right after I put the fishing line down with bait, a fish bit the bait. I pulled the fishing rod up and started reeling the reel in. There was a small fish on the hook! <><

There are so many fishes! It’s so easy to catch! Every minute when I drop the bait, the fish bit it and I caught it! It’s amazing! I caught more than 20 fish in one hour and it was very fun. My hands were very cold so I went in the car and rested for 5 minutes. Then I went out again and fished more. <><

Dinner

After a few hours, we were all cold and tired and went home for dinner. We took out our pots and cooking materials and made a fire on the stove. We put our food in the pot and cooked. It was very tasty with the sauce we brought. <><

The second day

The second day, we went fishing on the bridge again. Mum caught a big mouth bass! But we could not take it home because it is not in the season yet. If we took it home, it’s against the law. We took many pictures of the fish with me and dad. But we forgot to take a picture of that fish with Mum! <><

It was such a wonderful fishing trip! I was so happy to catch so many fish! <><
