I let my boys go fishing cabin fever

They been locked up for week school district has dropped all cyber schooling. My wife is working from home me I’m just union jockey at night. I’m only one stopping at the stores leaving house.

I mentioned why don’t you guys just head to the orchard ponds this morning they were out the door in a flash with their rods and gear. It is secluded and rural so they will be ok.

They need fresh air and diversion from being cooped up. It'll probably be really good for them.

Its still wintery here ( Northern Montana )
But the fishing (trout) is awesome
And ya remote social distancing

And if there is a food shortage......I might have to learn to like trout
