Finding a way to kill time during her sister’s soccer practices turned into a big deal for Aubrey Raddatz.
Armed with their fishing poles, the 13-year-old Amherst Middle School seventh-grader and her father, Timm, would head to the Tomorrow River in Amherst to fish for trout or whatever was biting at the time while her sister practiced.
