Griffin's Gnat and Some Other Bait
Here's a picture of the fishing fun culprit - Griffin's Gnat. This thing generates as much fun as the Bonefish Bitters I used to use - so simple yet so effective. Anyways - later in the afternoon, we hiked back our fishing spot at the Potomac River at the south end of Riverbend Park. It rained pretty heavily on the way in and the water had a little more speed to it than last time. I didn't see any perch today (shucks), but I did catch a bunch (next post). The kids had a great time walking across a section of the river (pretty shallow and low flow) which somewhat spooked the fish, but I like a challenge anyways (and heck the kiddoroosters were having fun). Along the way, we found earthworms and young toads - and we all considered using them as bait, but none of the kids wanted to be the one to spear the toad. Fun hike!
