with Thomas Attwood

ixteen-year-old Thomas
SAttwood just moved to Green
Valley from Chateauguay, Quebec,
and is already getting familiar with
the local fishing spots!
“I love fishing because it gives
me a lot of time with my dad, and
while we fish, I like to take breaks
and swim in the water as well,”
said Attwood.
Before he moved to the area,
he was fishing often. He had his
earliest memory when he was
only two years old. He says he
remembers casting, and pretending
he caught a big fish when really it
was seaweed.
“My favourite fishing memory
is when I caught thirteen fish in
one day,” said Attwood. “Me and
my dad would pretend we were in
our own fishing tournament. I even
got a hook in my ear that day.”
Although he’s loving the new
local spots, his favourite place

to fish is in his hometown where
he grew up on Lac St. Louis. He
enjoys catching bass and hopes to
try his hand at fishing in Australia
one day.
Attwood doesn’t only fish for
fun, but he competes too!
“I’ve been competing in
tournaments with my dad since I
was ten. You win some and you
lose some,” said Attwood. “I will
always love fishing with my dad
because it creates good memories.”
For those he’s hoping to
convince to try fishing, Attwood
knows exactly what he would tell
them.
“It’s a good hobby, and it’s
fun to get a big fish because
you can’t ever forget the feeling
when you bring it in the boat,”
said Attwood.
If you see him on the local
waters this summer, be sure to
welcome Attwood to the area,
and show him a few of the spots! Photo Submitted
