Yellowstone Day 6. We took a small hike to a little pond that was supposed to be pretty good fishing. The kids were excited and both had new poles they were anxious to use. We fished for at least an hour without any bites. At first, the kids were ok casting and reeling, over and over again, but soon they began getting frustrated over NO FISH!!! It started getting late and Dane told the kids they had 10 more minutes. No sooner had he said that, Gracie had a bite!!!

This cutthroat turned out to be 24 inches long!!! She caught it and reeled it in on her new pink pole! She was sooo excited. She claims this is the first fish she's ever caught, but Dane and I are not certain that's the case. Either way, it most certainly is the LARGEST fish she's ever caught.

As you can imagine, Clay was excited for Gracie, but pretty dang frustrated she caught a fish and he didn't. So, the stubborn, "Gronning" in him came out and he started casting. Took only about 2 min., pretty close to the same place Gracie caught hers, and he reeled in this lovely Rainbow trout. Unfortunately, you aren't able to keep the rainbows, so we had to put it back in. However, as you can imagine, Clay was thrilled he wasn't completely outdone by his sister :)
