Kids tournament at East Canyon

[muirco]

I was just watching Adam Eakle on KSL. I guess there was a tournament there recently and there will be another one on May 15. Did any of you take your kids to the first one?

Yeah, I took my 2 boys up. We rented a yurt for Friday night and invited grandpa up for some fishing and campfire time. We went out to fish Friday evening and found a boat in distress out on the south end. We ended up towing them back to the ramp. The boys were bummed that we didn’t get to fish much, but I explained to them that’s what we had to do. Eventually we will need help sometime, and it’s your responsibility as a boater to look out for others. I told the boys the fish gods would look out for them. 5 minutes into the tournament, Cameron hooked and landed the biggest fish of the tournament at 19.25”. I never touched a rod the entire day!  The boys set downriggers, lead core and even tied their own lines. Cam won a bunch of gear and even got some screen time on the Outdoors Show. It’s nice to have a Tournament dedicated to kids only. Thumbs up to the DWR, East Canyon and the Manager Chris Haromoto.

Awesome experience! What gear did your boy win? Glad you were able to help out that boat!
