We were going camping/fishing this last weekend so, on the way home, I stopped at a friends house and cut a piece of bamboo. I figured I'd show my grandson that you don't need a store-bought pole to catch fish. My son and his sister helped him cut the branches and tie a piece of line to the end.

what a great day! lessons and grandpa time! It doesn't get much better than that! priceless! :D
 

His sister liked it too. It eventually caught the biggest fish of the trip too but didn't get a pic of that. We had 6 store-bought poles with us.

Nice rewards! And the lesson of making a pole is unforgettable. Around here we make ours from cane stands!
 

lol knocks that "what is the best brand pole?" question right out of the water! ;) awesome memories you are collecting there! :D
 

Depending on where the next trip is going to be, maybe we will take nothing BUT cane poles and see how well we do. It would be kinda fun I would think.
 

Awesome pics! The kids will always remember the making of a cane pole & the thrill of catching a fish with it. Those poles make a excellent hot dog & marshmallow roasting stick too. Then a more fun thrill after the roasting is to put them in the fire for a popping explosion. That is if you're raising plenty of cane. ;D

That's cool, Pack. I wish I could grow Bamboo, just for that! I think all fisherpersons should do some canepole fishing, just like all deerhunters should do some bowhunting.
 

You are making memories that will last for a life time.I tip my hat to you. A really excellent series of pictures.
