When I was young, Veterans Day was a big event for the Nielsen family. Although this is also my mother's birthday, she made sure that my brothers and sisters and I know the importance of this day.
She reminds us of the sacrifices made by men and women serving in the armed forces, allowing people like you and me to freely enjoy outdoor activities and other aspects of free life.
Today, I pay tribute to all of you and your family who have made great sacrifices for all of us, especially for me and my family. Not much, but thank you.

No matter what environment you choose, there are a few things to keep in mind when pursuing rainbow trout.
Although they are adapted to various habitats, they prefer cool streams with gravel bottoms and cover where they can avoid predators. Fallen trees, low hanging branches, boulders and other structures fill the need for cover. The same goes for areas where the background is darkened by vegetation or shadows.
Rainbow trout will eat all kinds of things, from aquatic or terrestrial insects to small fish, from crustaceans to worms. You may need to test different baits until you find the most effective bait, but a good rule of thumb is to look for what they are eating and try to match it.
Although fishing in the park is not for everyone, it is a great opportunity for young people who are just beginning their fishing hobby. In this case, they can fish until their interest starts to diminish, and then turn to other things.
One of the biggest mistakes made by adult mentors is to expect young people to have the same concentration as us, but this is not the case. Although we can fish continuously for several hours, young anglers do not have this ability. This comes with age and experience. They will notify you when they are full.
Good indicators are staying away from the water or throwing rocks into the water.
When working with new anglers, keep it simple regardless of age. Don't make them think too much at once. A spinning fishing rod with a button-type reel is a good starting point.

Usually, all you see is a quarry among bushes or trees. Or maybe something as fast as a ray of sunlight reflected from antlers or even the back of an animal.
ATV can save hunters time and money. But they also have potential shortcomings, which are more related to the operator than the machine itself.
