Practice with a handmade fishing pole begins at an early age. On the bank of Railroad Creek this Sunday morning, young Aiden and sister Vivien try their luck using a stick pole with a washer for a weight. There did not seem to be either a hook or bait of any kind.
This past week a group of children from Narnia made their own fishing poles and went as a group to try their luck fishing Railroad Creek. While luck was hard to come by, the entire group seemed cheerful enough as they made their way back to Narnia at mid-morning.
Before you know it, the young ones grow up to be adults, and sometimes luck improves with age and experience...and better fishing gear!
Harlan Kadan of Jamesown, ND and James Trutwin of Golden IL proudly display their catch, prepared the next morning for breakfast and for the enjoyment of all who were invited to partake of the early morning feast.
It has long been a tradition at Holden for the cooks to prepare freshly caught fish for breakfast. You catch them, clean them, and tell the kitchen what time you want them ready to eat the next morning.
This particular practice of hospitality is, indeed, a small treasure.
