Nice Pic and Pig , I try all the time to get my kid to go . I hope someday he would tag along more . All his friends want to come , so that is the only way I can get him to go . I know when i was a kid I was dying to go in any weather condition . I have better luck taking other kids in the neighborhood than my own .

Nice hawg Kayote, it is always nice when the younger generation has luck and fun fishing. I usually go fishing with my son and my grandson. On occasion my granddaughter goes with us.It is alot funner for me when the kids go.

IN the summer I go up to Silver Lake by Brighton Ski resort at least once a week after work to relax. Since I live at the base of the canyon. Last year I actually found my self doing very little fishing and helping the kids. There are always kids between 6-14 up there with their single mom or some similar situation who has no clue on fishing, trying to catch their first fish. I have a tackle box marked charity now, just for this reason. Just to help less fortunate kids catch their first fish. It is priceless. Since I am only 23 yrs old and have no kids that I know of, it is fun to work with others kids. It helps us out as anglers for conservation reasons in the future!!!! Plus givin' a little back. It is my father coming out in me, i admit it. God rest his soul, good man. Passing on his good deeds now!!!!

I used to think it was a pain taking kids because I couldn't focus on my catching. I guess I've matured, but I'd rather get a newcomer into a nice fish than myself now. Go figure.
Good Fishing, Kayote

Took my nephew out Friday on the Provo above Deer Creek. Rainbows were on the spawn and was a great time on either a spinner or I even had him hooking up with a fly rod and glow bugs. Most fish had amazing colors. And it was a good chance for a kid to catch a big fish with out using bait.

My son is 2 and a half and already loves to fish during the summer. One of his first words was "ishes". When I go fishing and don't bring any fish home, he gets mad and won't talk with me for hours.

Last summer, I took my 10-year-old grandson and his friend to Deer Creek. I demonstrated to the friend (who had never caught a fish) how to cast a closed bail reel with a jig. I handed the pole to the boy and watched him cast about 25 feet, and then I proceeded to tie a jig on my grandson's pole. The friend started screaming that he had a fish on. I couldn't believe it, his first cast and he landed a 15 inch small mouth bass. In a few minutes he landed an even walleye. He would have caught several more fish, but he kept forgetting to set the hook. My grandson also caught a few fish, so it was a great day of fishing. All six of my grandchildren love to fish, and I enjoy taking them.
