Hooked on Fishing: Our Family's Opening Day Adventure

As the sun rose over the calm waters this opening day, it was not just the start of the fishing season but a continuation of a cherished family tradition for Aidan, 8, and Sylas, 4, the Nagano family grandsons.  They were up at the crack of dawn, their fishing gear ready, and their spirits high. It was a day filled with more than just the prospect of catching fish; it was about bonding, learning, and creating memories.

Under the watchful eyes of their father, Shawn, who has always been an avid fisherman, the boys set out on their annual adventure. Shawn explains, "This isn't just about fishing. It's about teaching my boys the value of patience, the connection with nature, and the importance of quality family time."

The chilly morning air did nothing to dampen Aidan and Sylas's enthusiasm as they, equipped with their rods and reels, tackled their first challenge of the day. Lake Wilderness, usually serene, buzzed with the excitement of numerous anglers anxious to join in the opening day fun. Regardless, the Nagano boys arrived in time to find their usual spot on the crowded dock, ready to cast their lines.

As the minutes passed, the boys learned to master their technique, guided by their grandfather's experienced hands and encouraging words. "It’s not just catching fish, it’s about fishing itself," their grandfather reminded them. “There are many lessons to be learned from fishing.”

Slyas managed to snag the first trout of the day, his face lighting up with pride and accomplishment. Aidan, while a bit less lucky at first, enjoyed the chase, each cast improving from the last. 

This day was more than successful. Both boys not only honed their fishing skills but also absorbed lessons on local wildlife, the importance of conservation, and respecting nature. Their catch of the day included a bounty of trout and plenty of stories to share. A highlight was a hearty pancake breakfast by the lakeside, where they recounted their individual experiences and laughed over the ones that got away.

The Nagano family's opening day adventure is a testament to the spirit of tradition, the joy of learning, and the bonds that strengthen with every cast. As they packed up their gear, the promise of next year's opening day was already a topic of exciting discussion. In the words of young Aidan, "This was the BEST day ever getting to fish with my brother and dad!"

As the Nagano family looks forward to many more such days, their story is a reminder of the simple joys of life—patience, perseverance, and, most importantly, family.

Arclight did exterior painting on our house. Shawn did our initial appointment and he explained about how they would do the job and what makes them different than others. He is very detailed and humble that my husband was hooked and did not want to choose other company although there are other companies with lower bids, but you’ll get what you’ll pay for. Jean and his team did the actual work and they were courteous and always gave us update. They had to climb tall ladder because we have 3 stories house and they did couple patch on our doors and walls. Overall, we can recommend Arclight for your painting needs.

Thanks Stanley and team! I have no idea what I’m doing with house maintenance so it was great to have you coming by after the paint dried and checked that everything looked up to your standards. I won’t forget your statement of “well that’s not going to sell” and making sure you had a chance to come back and fix the issues you saw. Of course getting it in the first visit is nice, but having a professional check things over makes me trust your team a lot. Highly recommended!

We are really happy with the job Arclight did with the exterior paint on our house. We did schedule the job out for a year, which was really helpful. Throughout the job, they were very honest, had a good eye for detail, and were quick to touch up even after the job was completed. They also have a 5-year warranty on their work, which makes me feel really confident in their work.

Just got an exterior job done by Dan, Colby/Cody from the Arclight team. They were respectful, detail oriented and communicative throughout the several days work. Our neighbor was also impressed with their diligence and hard work and meticulous nature as they stripped the weather and wear from some of the wood exterior before coating and refreshing it for the next few years. They did work on our cedar fences to brighten things up from the dull gray wear over the last few years of winter rains. Clean up and walk-through was efficient and thorough, which they did to make sure we were fully satisfied with the work. Highly recommended and will seek them out again in the future for any interior or exterior painting needs.

I highly recommend Arclight Painting for your exterior home. They did a wonderful job of upgrading our paint job, including trim and 2 coats everywhere. Our house is two story on a hill, so they did a lot of ladder climbing. We are so grateful we did not need to climb ladders ourselves! They were always on time, kept us informed at all times of the schedule, did exceptional masking and preparation work, and were good to clean up afterwards. In other words, practically perfect! Thanks, Arclight painters!
