For you FS members that started fishing as a kid, what is your favorite memory of those younger years? Day, time, place, results?
I have mine but I'll post it later. I'm more interested in reading yours right now. A good distraction for me right now.
I well remember when my Pappy and Grammy took me up to a club they belonged to up in the Poconos called Lake Maskenosa for the annual āsunnie contestā. Weād have to stop along the way near the lake, walk down a steep embankment near a stream and gather some moss to put on top of the worm bedding. Prizes were awarded for the most fish, biggest crappie and perch. I still have an old yellow eagle claw spinning rod and an old metal Heddon tackle box. The ride home included a box of crackerjax popcorn with a prize inside. Iād be asleep in ten minutes. Fondest memories of my childhood which fueled a lifelong passion, hope I can replicate that feeling when I have grandchildren.
