Another challenge for me was the fishing and leading, itself. Having been working with cultural resources, I was used to talking to pieces of prehistoric rock and ceramics. Volunteering my time with the project allowed me to interact with the public, with some kids as young as 4 years old, and encourage them to have patience while waiting for the local rock bass and brook trout. I tried my hand at fishing after seeing some of the youth catch multiple fish. Alas, I was successful in catching only a stick.
