They were catching smiles

While the numbers of children participating were down from the usual, they were still catching smiles and rainbow trout at Dworshak National Fish Hatchery Friday.

The hatchery held its annual Open House and Kids's Fishing day under sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny skies, but the children did not seem to mind the weather as long as they were fishing.
