All Comments on 'Fishing with My Daughter'

Nice story about farther daughter bonding

Conversations with Julia. Countless possible variations. I enjoyed that immensely. Compelling. Can’t stop smiling.

Started out well and has potential to be a really good story. Please finish it. As it stands, only 3 stars.

So great that I think Parsons, Vicars, Priests, Celebrants and Marriage Guidance Counsellors should give copies to prospective brides and grooms.

This has great potential, and you write well enough to do it.

A deceptively deep story. Thanks for posting it.

"There isn't a woman in the world that could tempt me away from your mother. She's still the sexiest woman I've ever known."

That's the lesson to teach your daughter. If you want to keep you husband loyal and faithful stay sexy. Intelligent, frugal, strong, brave? Yeah, that's nice. But SEXY, that's the acid test.

I think you might want to reexamine your values and priorities.

A nice perspective on a father / daughter relationship.

Very good, very pointed chit chat

Nicely done

Good story. Thanks for the read.

As in all relationships, clear and frequent communication is the key. If respect, loyalty, faithfulness and fidelity are key qualities you expect in a partner make sure your partner knows you expect that out of them as well as expressing your commitment to ensure your behavior exemplifies those qualities as well.

Secondly, make sure you know what your deal breakers are and make sure your partner knows what they are and what the expected consequences are for those deal breakers.

If the two partners can't agree on the ground rules of the relationship and aren't committed to living by then then the relationship is doomed.

Never make unilateral decisions about the relationship. People change and relationships can change as well but have the decency to respect the other individual and agree to discuss and renegotiate the relationship before acting on decisions. If the relationship has reached or exceeded the expiration date then do them adult thing and have that discussion with the partner towards dissolving the relationship amicably as best as possible.

Usually when I make comments about stories on LIT. it has to do with a memory from my past, whether from my childhood, schooling, sports, loves, college, military, marriage, child rearing, etc. all the way up to now in my life at 73yrs.

This story parallels part of my life with my daughter. She was an avid fisherman and loved fly fishing. She also started fly fishing at about 10 yrs old. She still to this day fly fishes and ties her own flies. So thank you for bringing back some of my memories, I sat back in my lounge chair today with one of the family albums in my lap and just drifted back in time to our special times on the rivers and the lakes that we paddled on in our canoe and fished. J_T thank you for giving me such a wonderful day of memories. KUDOS BIG TIME !! (There is nothing quit as exciting as watching a 14 yr old daughter hauling in a 20 lb. Steelhead on fly fishing tackle)!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Great humor. Well done, thanks again. 25 stars again! lol

If only it were so.

This is a story that most anyone would love, especially if your a father of a daughter! Thank you for such a great read. 5 stars

somewhere east of Omaha

"Find a man who doesn't lie to anyone, respects the people around him, but still stands up for himself. Look for a man who knows himself, knows what he wants, and knows it when he finds it. You want a man who won't change just because others think differently, but who listens in case he's wrong. Find a man that you know everyone else can trust and trust that you can, too." Gold, absolute gold.

Great Story!! loved it!!

I've enjoyed reading it many times!

A lot of good advice in there

Dad’s are like that. Informative, lovesick, and always a joker of the family.

People just love them.

Desecration said it so well that I've nothing I can say worth saying.

Brings to mind the Trace Adkins song “Just Fishin’”
