Jam investigates fishing

Jam went fishing at Lake Mackintosh Park in Burlington North Carolina. His intent was to have fun by catching and releasing as many fish as possible. First he needed to get his bait. Luckily he had his dad to help.

Next he had to learn how to cast his rod. 
He picked that up pretty fast.

The next and most important thing about fishing to learn is the patience for the fish. Some people enjoy sitting around resting at the water’s edge, but not Jam. After about 30 minutes he was found on the playground.

The day was not lost. Guess who caught a fish. Here are 5 facts I thought were pretty interesting about fish.

1.  Fish can drown in water if the oxygen level is too low.
2. There was a fish that lived to be 65 years old.
3. Most lipsticks are made with fish scales. Thanks Cover Girl.
4. The first public aquarium was built in London in 1853.
5. The GloFish® gets its “glow” by injecting the fish egg with fluorescent proteins.

Go fishing. You might need a fishing license depending on your age and location.

Case #2:  Download the fish crossword puzzle. Visit your local pet or fish store and try to solve the riddles. If you are not close to a store that sells fish go fishing for the answers online.
