Fishin'

Gavin got his very own fishing pole, so you can bet it won't be long before he's hauling in fresh trout for dinner. We're not quite ready to attach a barbed hook to his line, so for now he'll just keep the rubberized plastic fish on the end and use it to catch chickens.
He's had a couple of opportunities to practice his cast on the Blacksmith Fork River. The first time was with his mom, who was more worried about him getting wet than being successful at casting (he ended up soaking wet anyway), and whose casting demonstrations invariably ended up with the little green fish caught in a tree. The second time was with Brandon and Chris, who seem to have a much better grasp of the concept.
