During the last few weeks of school my kids brought home piles of flyers for summer camps and activities. The pressure on parents to fill those once-lazy-summer-days with organized and expensive activities is tremendous. After all, they all sound so educational and fun -- we'd hate for our kids to miss out. Plus, the kids want to be with their friends. As my hus-band and I struggle to narrow the list, coordinate the schedule and somehow fit it into the family budget, we actually worry: If we don't sign them up for something, does that make us bad parents? But maybe the greatest gift we can give our child this summer is the gift of down time -- and a lot of it. Kids actually need time to get bored. De-prived of adult-organized activities, television and video games, they'll have access to a rare commodity and the fruit of boredom: mental space to reflect, read, create, and discover. It's something most of us had and took for granted growing up. Faced with

long summer days without a whole lot of adult interference, kids will redis-cover toys they haven't played with for months, organize other "bored" kids for neighborhood kickball games or freeze tag, observe nature, catch frogs,

make a lemonade stand (see recipe, pg 3), read a book, climb a tree or sit under it for a deli-cious afternoon nap. They'll have time to get lost in their own thoughts and dreams.

I recognize it's a very countercultural gift, one that's not easy to give; first you have to endure the protests from your kids and the guilt you might ini-tially feel about not having to spend your summer driving to practices. You also might worry that other kids are getting ahead of yours in the "enrichment" department or feel em-barrassed when asked by other parents about your child's summer activities. It might be just as difficult to get used to hearing your kids say "I'm bored," and feeling good about smiling, doing nothing about it, and trusting that a healthy dose of childhood boredom is a precious and priceless gift.

This Summer, Give Your Kids The Gift of Boredom

Interesting Facts You Never Knew

Ah, summer what power

you have to make us suffer and

like it!!.

Did you know….The one place where a flag flies all day, never goes up or comes down, and does not get saluted, is the moon. Did you know…Summer on Uranus lasts for 21 years – but so does winter.

Small pond fishing for me means the roots of my fishing experience. It is where it all started. If you are like me you spend most of your time traveling the highway with one eye on the road and the other eye looking out for any-where you could possibly fish. It could be a small farm pond, or a golf course pond, or a small river or stream. Each has an appeal to us as die hard fisher-men we simply can't resist. These small waters tease us and have us wondering what they might hold just below the surface - largemouth bass, catfish, sunfish as big as dinner plates - the possibilities seem endless. So even though you may be many miles from home and there is no possibility of return-ing, and even though you don't have a fishing rod in your vehicle you still strain your neck to see that glimmer of water and imagine yourself casting a bait from shore. Every once in a while you come across a small pond close to home that is prime for fishing. Usually it requires some form of permission from the land-owner to gain access. The last thing you want to do is discover a sure thing hot-spot only to upset the landowner and never be able to fish it again, or even worse find yourself with a visit from local law enforcement with a charge of trespassing. More times than not a simple request with a promise of respect for their property and an as-surance that you will follow their rules will result in access granted instead of access denied. Just make sure you follow through on those commitments and you may have discovered a place you can fish for a long time to come. Now that you have access to this fish-ing wonderland your first step should be to study the pond and look for pro-ductive areas to fish. Most man-made impoundments, particularly farm ponds, were put there with a specific

purpose in mind - to manage water and make it available as required for watering purposes, whether for live-stock or crops. The land adjacent to a farm pond will give you a pretty good idea of the bot-tom contours of the pond. Most man-made farm ponds will be somewhat oval in shape consisting of a deeper end where water damming occurs and a shallower end where the pond is fed. Usually the pond will be fed by some type of feeder stream, but in some instances they may be spring fed. But in either case the same basic bottom contour will be found.

Dependent upon the time of year, as well as time of day, you will find fish stag-ing in different areas of the pond. But the same rules that apply to larger bodies of water don't al-ways apply to smaller ones. Fish will have access to the full range of water depths during the course of a single day without

moving very far and most farms ponds will not contain water depths greater than 8-10 feet. So therefore it is im-portant to fish the entire range of structure, as well as water depths. Typically water clarity is an issue as well. Without a continual flow of water you may find that clarity is limited and you will need to adjust your tech-niques and colors with this in mind. I always begin my day with baits that allow me to cover a lot of water quickly to help identify any patterns that may exist. A spinnerbait is per-fectly matched for this requirement. I also tend to size my baits down - in-stead of a larger spinnerbait I usually start with a smaller beetle spin style bait. After the spinnerbait, I tend to move up the water column and go to the surface with topwater baits and then

move down the water column with a small crankbait. Then, eventually finish the rotation with a plastic worm. I try to bring several rods and keep them all baited with lures that will allow me to cover each part of the water column so I can establish a pattern quickly. Since water clarity is an issue, I will swap out colors frequently within each family of bait styles. If the pond has been fished before you will see telltale signs of locations to fish from if you are confined to the bank for your fishing. Begin your casts parallel to the shore and move in a fan like pat-tern from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock. This will allow you to cover the most water quickly. Be certain to look for any sign of sunken cover that may be holding fish.

And keep in mind these small farm ponds will almost always hold small bream and sunfish that can make for a great day of fishing with small children. Just float a nightcrawler, cricket, grass-hopper, or waxworm on a small hook under a bobber and watch those kids eyes light up when they catch the big one! Just remember to seek permission, re-spect the landowners wishes, and study the contour of the land around the pond and you are guaranteed to have a good time. Oh, and while you are driving down the highway imagin-ing yourself fishing at that little pond you just passed please remember to keep at least one eye on the road.
