Went back out with my boy today, and we had another great time. Thought I'd share this 'cause it's a first on a river for me.
Two flies (dry/dropper) two fish! According to my son, "coolest thing ever".

southernbass, not to stir things up, but why two more years? I have taught 5 yr olds.

I don't know, I have a hard time just getting him to listen to me when I take him fishing.maybe if I start to teach him.

Could be worth a shot. I agree, the interest HAS to be there, so good luck.

Don't expect too much perfection, but if his interest is there, he needs to catch some nice easy fish! Just don't try and fish yourself when you are first starting him off. He'll catch a few, then you'll have a fishing partner for life. Fun stuff!

I agree, my boy's seven and he does fine. I mean, he's not going to break any casting records...but who cares? We catch some fish together and I've never enjoyed fishing this much.
