I remember when I was 8-9 yo and fishing with Dad off this rocky point along with 5-6 other folk. Managed to hook 'Grandpa' - the one everyone had hooked into and lost over the years. Dad behind me, cheering me on, another gentlemen cut everyone's line so I wouldn't tangle and sure enough, he exploded out of the water, a nice 18-20" trout. Dad ended up netting him for me as I was pretty wore out by the time I got him close to shore.

Made for some nice eating that night and cemented my love of catching my dinner/breakfast.

Your daughter will carry that joy throughout her life.
