Bay Area, CA Forest Fishing, Fly and Reel

Every kid should go fishing...

The Great Blue Heron The Master Swordsman, who with the tip of his sword bill makes a decent living plying the waterways of the swamp kingdoms, catching fish, and keeping watch for those more sensitive souls such as Duck, Raccoon, and others. Learn from his tracks, how to move as silently as a breath of wind, learn from his home, how to dance with the fish and convince them to live on in your belly.

Fishing for Life

This week we fish, catching our swimming friends with a cast of a reel and a fly rod. We learn about trout, carp and sturgeon; all species and how they hide and how the heron hunts them.

We learn to cast a reel rod and a "Huck Finn" fishing pole we make ourselves. We wait patiently along the dock of the San Francisco Bay wishing for fish. We sit by the shore enjoying the last of the summer days and we learn the story of the Salmon and how they are preparing to return from the ocean for the Fall season.

Please Note Like all great fishing trips sometimes we catch a lot of fish, sometimes we catch nothing. Yet we will always have a tall tale to tell. Also, catching fish often means eating them. We deal with this life and death through what we at Trackers feel is a healthy process. We also suggest you preface it with your child in the manner your family would wish to.
