Fishing is fun!

Troutdale and Hurricane Harbor

Today our boys chose to enjoy either Hurricane Harbor or fishing @ Troutdale. Nine boys went to Hurricane Harbor water park while eight boys went fishing at Troutdale. The 4-5th grade boys joined forces with us to bring the total number of fishermen to 19 boys, 2 Jr Counselors, and 4 Adults. Troutdale is located on Kannan road about half way between Agoura and Zuma beach. We were uncertain about the prospects of our day's activities as we left camp and headed to the bait shop since last year our boys didn't catch a single fish! It didn't take too long however before Evan caught the first fish of the day. Once that fish was landed, we knew that everything would be OK. By noontime we had caught 10 fish and were ready for the sandwiches which the kitchen staff at camp had prepared for us.

Fish being stocked @ Troutdale

After lunch, the boys were delighted to see a fish hatchery truck restock the ponds with fresh rainbow trout! We had caught a total of 24 trout by the time we left for camp. Once we arrived at camp, it was time to change into our swimsuits and enjoy the camp pool all by ourselves. The boys enjoyed playing water basketball with Mr. Harold while I taught others how to clean their fish. Moms and Dads were delighted to see our catch. We can hardly wait for a return trip to Troutdale later in the summer.
