Ethan's New Fishing Pole

Ethan wanted to go fishing and he had a fishing elective for cub scouts and Grandpa Oman wanted to go fishing, so we combined them all. Grandpa took Ethan to the "side of the road somewhere" and they cut a reed to make a fishing pole. Then they went to Grandpa's house and made a hook from a paper clip. They then made a fishing pole "that didn't cost any money at all!" And Grandpa took Ethan fishing....but Ethan didn't catch anything. Grandpa caught 2 little blue gills which he promptly let go, much to Ethan's dismay. But they had a lot of fun!
