Today my father took me fishing for the first time on the bank of the Duero river and we had a wonderful day. I learnt how to handle the rod well and I also attached several hooks for the fish to bite. The best thing was when a giant trout appeared in the water and when it took the bait, I almost fell off the boat! As I did not have the strength to get it out of the water, my father helped me and he prevented me from ending up in the water.

Clever stuff happening!
