ColoradoCaster’s Hardcore Award – Jon and his “angler in training”

(Above: Jon and family hitting the water. I think that kid is eyeing my skirted jig combo on rod number 3.)

Hitting some water on the first good weather day that I have seen in months! Along comes one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. This is really getting the kid out and starting things early.

“As soon as he can hold a rod…” Jon said as we talked for a few minutes on the shoreline.

The kid didn’t say a peep one. Just soaking it all in and enjoying the outdoors. Where is the wife? She is doing some serious search casting in shorebang mode while Dad does the double duty with Jr. here.

The double duty as baby carrier and angling trainer all in one deserves the ColoradoCaster’s Hardcore Award for the Month of May.
