Rainbow Trout Fishing

Evan had his FIRST EVER experience with fishing - and it was so much fun for all of us! Thank you to Melissa (from MOMS Club) for posting about this place. It was a huge hit for both my boys (and a co-worker of Ryan's).

Rainbow Trout Farm - 7 miles east of Sandy, OR. We brought nothing because you don't have to! They provided the rod, bait, bucket and net. They even clean and "gut" your fish for you! You just pay for what you catch (but be careful, whatever you catch you have to keep! We paid $30 for 4 fish). Aside from the expense, this experience was well worth the cost! It was beautiful day, and I got to see my son do something completely new - and ENJOY every bit of it! (including the fish "parts" that were gutted - eeewwwww)

Fascinated, but grossed-out at the same time. (hooking the worm)

Reeling him in!

"Look Mom - my FIRST fish!"
