Answer:
Dear (friend),
I went fishing for the first time today, and it went okay, albeit it was a little challenging at first because I couldn't cast the pole. While attempting to capture a fish, I encountered a few difficulties that I had not anticipated. I can tell that after a little practice, it gets easier! One thing I regret is having to tear apart a poor innocent worm, but it was well worth it once I caught the fish. My experience wasn't as dreadful as I expected, but on the walk home everything smelled awful and my hands were covered in dirt!
