Creek Monsters / by Dani Perrot

Look out Jeremy Wade. Dierker caught a blue gill out of the creek in my backyard (Rocklin, CA) with naught but some line, a bent needle, and a piece of confetti. 

That night, he made a simple lure out of some thread and a feather he found in the yard. Apparently, according to his mother, this is par for the course. 

Dierker in his happy place.
