Stop by there any day and there are lots of fathers with their kids enjoying the sport of fishing. The game wardens are there weekly and everyone's got the License and Stamp on the back of their hats. During the week you will find lots of kids and young teens fishing and not sitting home on a damn iPad. You can take the pretty river and brooks and enjoy them but those local ponds are a damn tradition from generation to generation to a lot of people.

Yep, go to Verona Park lake on and around opening day. Lots of dads with young kids there fishing.
