Dayvon Manning learned fishing's hardest lesson in less than three hours.

Dayvon and Rayvon Manning are 10-year old students at Glenwood Elementary School. Their grandfather, Henry, supervised their inaugural casts when Pennsylvania's trout fishing season began Saturday morning.

The trio, like many in the a.m. hours, were lined along the south shore of Presque Isle State Park's East Basin Pond.

Dayvon already had a catch to call his own, but flicked his reel for others. It was at that point when he was asked what he thought of the whole fishing experience.

"It's good," Dayvon said, "but sometimes I don't like the waiting."

Do the words "universal truth" come to mind?
