The Sabula Izaak Walton League teamed up with the local Conservation Officials to host a Kids Fishing Day at the pond on the Don and Kathy Kunde Family Farm near Dalton Lake outside of Preston.  Every kid caught at least one fish with some catching 7 or more.  Lots of fishing gear went home with each participant and of course after a day of fishing a hotdog and treats hit the spot.  Fishing can be a family affair or an individual sport.

If you build it, they will come. Kunde Family Pond east of Preston

 

Found a spot for some solitude and serious fishing.

 

One of biggest catches of the day. It was taken for official measurement before being released. about 10 1/2 inches long.

 

Don and Kathy Kunde stopped by and watched so many kids and adults enjoy the stocked pond. Kathy was spotted giving advice on reeling the fish in!

 

After Grandma took her turn showing how it is done, dad came in to assist with the big catches.

 

This mom loves the great outdoors and enjoys fishing with her son.  He is really concentrating on the task at hand.

 

The worm barely hit the water and there was a bite and a successful reeling it back to shore.  Smiles like these were seen throughout the afternoon by the fishermen of all ages.

 

Many generous donations of fishing related items were sent home with the kids o they can continue to enjoy many days of fishing ahead.

 

Grandpa Lee was kept busy helping with bait, poles, the big catches and the release.
