I went to my dad’s in the summer holidays. He lives in Kent in a small block of flats. While I was staying with him, we went to a fishing park for the day. My dad has done a lot of fishing and it’s something we like to do together. It is very exciting when you get a pull, whip the rod out of the water and see what you have caught. We used a lot of equipment. A fishing rod (fly fishing) |
We fished for an hour and my best catch was a small mirror carp. It gets its name from the fact that you can see yourself in its scales when it’s out of the water. My dad’s biggest fish weighed 32 pounds which he caught in France. Once he had a photograph taken with it in his arms, he put it back in the water. In August, I caught four fish, my sister got one and my dad caught four. Fishing is something you can do as a family. In my family, it is something we have been doing for five generations. It’s great to be able to do something together and it’s very relaxing. |
