Fishing is a super chill thing to do. There are some awesome fishing spots in the USA like Lake Tahoe, the Florida Keys, and the Great Lakes. Every summer, my family goes on a fishing trip to Lake Tahoe. I go with my buddies, Jake, Sarah, Matt, and Emily. We pack all our fishing gear like rods, bait, tackle, and coolers.

We each have our own jobs. Jake and Sarah set up our fishing gear. Matt builds a campfire with matches. Emily and I cook our meals every day. During the day, we love fishing and exploring. After breakfast, we usually go on hikes. We bring water bottles, snacks, and a map just in case we get lost. In the afternoons, we like reading and playing cards.

At night, we gather around the campfire. Sarah plays the ukulele for us, and we all sing songs together. We also enjoy roasting marshmallows for dessert over the fire. Hanging out by the fire and eating marshmallows are the best parts of fishing trips.
