First Fish: A boy's dream realized!

Photos by Jonathan Schechter at Upper Bushman Lake,  Independence Oaks County Park

One hour after walking down to the lake  seven year old Dominic proudly displayed his first fish 
to his grandmother. The photos tell the rest of the tale of a young boy fishing with his brand new rod. 
Upper Bushman Lake is a catch and release only lake at the very northern tip of  1,276  acre 
 Independence Oaks  County Park.  The fishing pier is at the end of a  1,200 foot gently
 meandering  gravel  path  that  starts  in the  parking lot of  Independence-North.
