Monday, November 12th, 2001 Winter is Near!!
I got another chance to show a young man how to fly fish! His name is Josh Baker, I fished with him two years ago and he did well on that day at the Mt Shasta Trout Ranch. Now his newest test, out on
a rock on the McCloud River! Wow, What could be better.
It didn't take long to see that no age could withstand pure determination to catch a trout! Josh was hot! I think his second cast he caught this trout and before long Josh had more Hook ups than Dad or Grandpa. He caught 6 trout off this rock alone as well as numerous hits, of course he was giving the fish a chance.
Ladies and Gentlemen you are witnessing maybe the greatest future fly fisherman to ever walk the Earth. Josh Baker future
olympian gold winner! But for now, just a kid having fun on a rock!
World meet Josh, Josh meet the World. This kid is cool and look at that nice big trout he caught. He caught 9 trout that day and looks forward to his next adventure! Josh your my Sizzler of the Week award winner!!! Congradulations with honors
Here's Dad doing the "Brad Pit, River Runs Through it" John Baker had quite a thrill landing this one! "Hey Dad don't fall in!"
"Nice fish Dad, but mine was bigger!" Josh and Pops really had a ball with Grandpa on the McCloud and now I think Josh will be making a regular appearance. He's got to if he wants to make the
Olympic Team! What a great experience for a young man to get out with family and have a great memory! Take care Jack Trout
