Entry FeedOn Saturday we were invited up to visit a friend's cabin in the woods. On our last visit, my boys were very interested in fishing in their pond. Alas, they explained that their pond was fish-less! We decided to bring them a hostess gift of trout to stock their pond.
On route, we stopped in at the Primrose Trout Farm. We purchased 20 8-10 inch trout for the pond, and carried them away in a large plastic bag nestled in our blue bin.
If you have youngsters who want to try fishing, consider a trip to the Primrose Trout Farm public fishing ponds located at Highways 89 and 10, about an hour from Toronto. They have a catch and release fly fishing pond, as well as other ponds where you and your kids can try fishing and come home with rainbow trout you can eat! Kids under 10 are free, and fishing licenses are not required.
My boys really want Daddy to take them back so they can actually catch fish next time, instead of just buying them. At this time of year the woods around the ponds were filled with beautiful white trilliums, and a few mosquitoes.
At our friend's cabin, we released the 20 fish into the pond. Two of them didn't look too good after the drive, and didn't make it. But somewhere in the pond the remaining 18 are happily swimming along!
