Pan Fish
Personal memory by Tammy (Ashley) Frohn
I remember as a child, summer fishing with my father. The abundance of pan fish we would have with hardly an effort or time spent in the boat. Voices, thumps in aluminum boat bottom or location did not change the hunger of the beautiful fish biting our hooks. We always went home with enough fish to feed our hungry family of 6. As I fish with my children now 36 years later, there is hardly a pan fish large enough to keep.
