Ten Tips When Taking Kids Fishing

By Mike Demick, Staff Biologist

Do you want to be a rock star to your kids this summer? Consider grabbing some fishing gear and taking them on a family adventure.

From the fresh air to the excitement of feeling a tug on your line, fishing provides the perfect excuse to spend together-time outdoors. Plus, introducing young children to the sport, which may seem daunting for some, is actually easy with a little planning.

“Fishing is a great sport even for little kids, if you introduce it in a positive way,” says Greg Schoby, Fish and Game Fisheries Manager in Salmon. “And remember: Keep it fun, short and simple, and the kids will be hooked.”

If you have never been fishing before, Idaho's Free Fishing Day, set for June 11, 2022, may be the perfect day to start. No fishing license is required, but all other rules apply. Fish and Game personnel and volunteers will host several free events at local fishing waters throughout the state to help first-timers discover the joys of fishing. continued on page 2...

Hazel Fuqua Awarded IAC Scholarship

Hazel Fuqua, a senior at Wendell High School and daughter of Cindy Fuqua, who works in the Gooding County Magistrate Court, was awarded one of eight Idaho Association of Counties (IAC) Scholarships. Fuqua will receive $1,000 to help pay for her college education.

The IAC Scholarship Fund was created to provide scholarships to children of county elected officials and county employees, as well as grandchildren of county elected officials. County elected officials and employees contribute to the fund through personal donations and other fundraising efforts such as auctions.

This is the nineteenth year IAC scholarships have been awarded. With the extraordinary efforts of county elected officials, county employees and corporate sponsors, the IAC Scholarship Fund has awarded a total of 143 individual scholarships since 2003. This year's final selection of award recipients was made from a competitive pool of 52 applicants.

...Taking Kids Fishing continued

No matter when you go, Fish and Game recommends keeping these 10 simple tips in mind to ensure your kid’s first fishing experience isn’t their last:

1. Catching is key: Getting kids hooked on fishing is about getting a fish on the line...fast. And for kids, it’s about numbers caught, not how big. Taking them on a trip that produces the most fish possible should be your goal. Finding a well-stocked pond or lake is essential, and Fish and Game makes locating one easy. Visit Fish and Game’s Learn to Fish webpage for close to home places to go, basic tips, fishing events and more.

2. Keep it simple: If you and the kids have never fished before, don’t worry about all the different types of fishing equipment. Push button reels and casting rods exist for a reason — they’re easy to use. A few small hooks, a few 1-inch bobbers and sinkers is all you need to get started.

3. Keep it short: The younger the child, the shorter the attention span. If the fish aren't biting, don't keep kids held hostage watching their fishing poles. Allow some breaks for rock skipping, enjoying some beach time, whatever keeps them happy and lets them enjoy the outdoors.

4. Fun times ahead: If you want your kids to go fishing again, the "fun" part is most important. Choose a sunny day, take photographs and just have a good time watching them have a good time.

5. Be patient: Remember that it’s not just your fishing trip, it’s their fishing trip too. Accept that you will be unsnagging lines, baiting hooks and probably not fishing much yourself.

6. Snack breaks: Pack a cooler with drinks, sandwiches and lots of snacks like granola bars, crackers, peanuts and a treat or two. Fish for 30 minutes or so and then take a break. Fish for 30 minutes and then take another break. Snacks with breaks can help with moments of frustration and will keep the kids interested longer.

7. Remember the essentials: Besides hook, line and sinkers, be sure to take sunscreen, bug repellant, a few Band-Aids and a fishing license if required. Resident youth 13 years old or younger do not need a fishing license, but those 14 years and older are required to have a license in their possession while fishing.

8. Never waste teaching moments: Fishing is not only about just catching fish – creating memories and learning are what’s important.

Capitalize on moments to teach them, tell them about bugs, birds, plants and fish. The outdoors is the best kind of classroom, and kids will soak it up like a sponge.

9. Keep a few: Catch and release is an important aspect of angling, but there's nothing wrong with keeping a few for the pan if the fishing rules allow.

10. Leave it better than you found it: Remember to pack out your garbage and encourage kids to pick up too. These lessons mold responsible and conscientious anglers.

...but never Compromising the Truth.

Matthew Stafford

Matthew Stafford is a football player. He is a good quarterback for the Rams team.

He can throw all the way to the end of a football field and he has a good receiver named Cup. The receiver's real name is Cooper Cup. He is a good receiver because last year he caught 83 passes. This year he caught 96 and his touchdowns were 53 times. Ok, back to Stafford.

He is the youngest quarterback in the league. He has 34 touchdowns as a quarterback. I have gone to a Rams game for Stafford and he is a good guy. It is fun to see him play in a game. He broke his finger at the game and the day after he broke his finger he jammed it on a helmet. Then he jammed it again on a cleat and then he had to get surgery on his finger. After the surgery, he sat on the sideline for a whole five games. When he got on the field he threw a touchdown. Stafford is a great football player. I want to be like him someday because football is a fun sport.

Sometimes you get hurt, but that is the way it is. Get back up and keep going like Stafford. By Ryker John -- -- --

Spring Flowers

There are many kinds of spring flowers. Most spring flowers are perennials. Perennials are flowers that return year after year. Most spring flowers are also in bulb form and the bulbs can be dug up and moved to somewhere else in your yard if you would like. Spring flowers add pops of bright color to the starting of a new season. Some of my favorite spring flowers include tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils. Did you know that snowdrops are the first flower to bloom in spring? That is probably how the flower got its name. Also, one of the most popular spring flower is the tulip.

In my life my mom has taught me about plants and flowers. Now, I like plants and flowers too. I will tell you about my mom's garden and it is full of flowers.The flowers in my mom's garden bring strong and sweet smells. One of the flowers in my mom's garden is the lavender; the lavender comes back every year.

Did you know that strawberry plants have white flowers? Those white flowers will turn into delicious, red strawberries! Flowers bring so much joy to many people around the world. They can instantly lift your mood. Plant some spring flowers this year and you won't regret it next year.

obit ua r ies

Cynthia Sue Braden, our beautiful mother, wife, grandmother, and friend to all, returned home to her Father in Heaven on Thursday, May 19, 2022.

Mom was born on November 22, 1950, in Cincinnati, Ohio to Warren Edward and Isabelle Rose Cordes.

Mom graduated from Deer Park High School in 1968. After high school, she attended the nursing program at Brigham Young University until she was married and began her family.

She married Robert J Morrow, and they were blessed with 3 beautiful children. They later divorced, and on April 2, 1984, she married Robert M. Routson, who brought 4 children into the marriage.

They later divorced, and she was married to Kevin Douglas Braden, who brought three adult children into the marriage, on February 21, 2012, in Ogden, Utah. They lived together in Clayton, Idaho, until her passing.

Mom could sense the loneliness in others and made all she knew to feel they were special and loved. Her children and grandchildren were the joy of her life, and she loved them to visit and especially sing to her. She was the happiest in the outdoors with family and friends enjoying life and laughing.

She is survived by her husband- Kevin Douglas Braden; her siblings - Debby and Warren; her loving children - Gail, Sharon, Curt, Karen, Robert, Nathan, Isabela (Brei), Michael, David, Kathlene, and Daniel; as well as her 29 grandchildren - Jimmy, Jack G, Isabelle, Alexander, Sophia, Spencer, Morgan, Grant, Mckinney, Ella Grace, Chase, Tyler, Kaitlyn, Melanie, Dylan, Grant (Buddy), Brylei, Addyson, Cruz, Quinn, Ashtin, Mayalin, Tyler, Kalab, Conner, Chase, Chance, Christen, and Kennedy.

Rhonde H. Wood

Rhonde H. Wood, age 73, passed away peacefully from natural causes on May 24, 2022.

He was born September 24, 1948 in Rigby, Idaho to Henry and Verda Wood. He was the fifth of eight children. He graduated from Bliss High School and attended Ricks College.

In 1969, he married Linda Marie Hull and together they had 6 children. In 1983 he married Carol Ann Faulkner and added two more children to the RHW Clan.

He was a truck driver, farmer, and most of all a family man. He was hard-working, giving and well known for his outgoing and sociable personality. Rhonde was a friend to all. Rhonde preferred to speak with his own unique vocabulary which many came to know and love: checking the water (having a cocktail), watching football (nap), frog (girl), hairy leg (boy), were just a few of his "Wood-ism's".

Rhonde is survived by: his siblings - Barbara, Doug, Jennette, Kim, and Kay; as well as his children - Nikele (Dan), Wendy, Shawn (Rina), Scott (Olivia), Angela (Jared), Dustin (Anjelica), Mandy (Miguel), and Rhett (Whitney); grandchildren - Kyle, Bryan, Nickolas, Nina, Annie, Tanner, Audri, Giovani, Tate, Londyn, Ty, Brooklynn, Rhonde W., Luke; and great grandchildren - Palmer, Theo, Vaelyn.

He was preceded in death by: his parents; his brothers - Barry and Lynn; and his favorite pups - Maximilian, Chuck, Kimber, Hemi and Rhino.

We will gather at *Gisler Park in Hagerman on Saturday, June 4, 2022 at 1:00 pm to celebrate Rhonde. We look forward to the many stories that will be shared in his honor, so please bring your lawn chair and your cooler for this 'backyard bbq' style gathering. *Gisler Park is located directly behind Wilson's Club in the heart of Hagerman, Idaho.

Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences, memories and photos can be shared with the family by following the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com
