One of the great things about being a real estate professional in a resort community is that there are times you can engage in outdoor recreation and still call it "work". As my colleague Howard Calhoun says, sometimes it’s like being a professional golfer.

This was one of those times.

We had been brainstorming about ways to provide useful information to people visiting our area and came up with the idea of doing a series on basic trout fishing techniques. Trout fishing on the Little Red River is something that I did with my dad from a young age. Now that I’m pushing 40, I do the same with my own kids. Our first video, “Trout Fishing 101,” is the most basic approach for catching trout and it’s probably the best way to go if you have small children that aren’t yet skilled enough to work an artificial lure.

As Howard will demonstrate, it works.
