Early morning fishing trip

As a kid I used to go on a fly fishing trip with my dad once or twice a year. This time I was going with my 5 cousins. I carefully packed all my fishing gears. The packing is something that I simply love doing. I didn’t forget to pack some yummy breakfast too in the morning. We left at around 4.30 am.

Wow!!! It was pleasantly cold and I could see the fog around. As we were moving towards our destination (the closest lake) each one of us were sharing some of our interesting fishing experiences and stories with each other. We finally reached the lake. The view at that time of the morning was simply breathtaking.

Seeing the small fishes jumping around, I just wanted to cast because it was quite a gap since I last went fishing. We chose our places and waited to see who catches the first fish. My cousin bro was the first to catch one and I was the second. But my fish was much bigger than his. He caught 5 fishes in 2 hours and won the competition of maximum number of fishes.

We spent hours contentedly fishing and at the same time enjoying the beauty of the sun rise. Believe me, it was so refreshing and relaxing from the stressful life.

Keeping a Fish Tank

Fish need a home. Aquariums are a place where you can see a variety of fishes and rare breeds. A trip to the local aquarium is always interesting to the young as well as old. You can have a mini aquarium in your house or office. A fish aquarium needs many accessories to set up your tank. Purchase the complete kit from pet shop and assemble the aquarium. You can have a bed of marbles and pebbles in many colors to decorate the bed of the tank. Natural pebble stones, black tourmaline stones, crystal amethyst, carnelian pieces are all ideal to be placed in the bed of the tank. Besides having some weeds and aquatic plants will add a natural feel to the aquarium. Lighting, warm temperature for tropical fishes, water pumps and aquarium dividers and containment are all necessary for an aquarium. Make sure you research proper fish tank care to make sure it stays clean because if you don't take care of your tank, your fish tank is going to get dirty and ruined and your fish will die. We don't want that to happen.
