Fly Casting and Inquisitive Kids

The other day I was at my go-to fishing hole in Garland, and got into some bluegill and a bass.  They gill's were really hitting the popper I was throwing.  I slowed down a little, as a very inquisitive couple of kids started asking me questions.  "Why are you going back and forth like that?  Why is the string yellow? How come that fish is so sticky?  My Uncle Artie Fishes, too!  Why does your string have heathers on the end?"  Those kids were pretty entertaining.  After a while, their mom gathered them up, and as they left that looked back and yelled, "Good luck catching more fish", and "Have fun fish-catching!"  It was a really nice afternoon.  Here are a couple of pictures of some of the fish I caught. I was using a small black and yellow popper, and a silver/red crappie bully.
