Took my son out 2 weeks ago to give him a shot of fly fishing at the waters side, i took him to Lochter as i thought its nice and open so nothing for him to get hooked on.
I gave him my #5 9ft rod he handled it very well (no false casting yet) but alas didnt catch anything.
I took him back to Lochter today and he caught his first on the fly
1lb 10oz and lost another (i caught 3 and lost 2) but im well chuffed at his efforts
It was funny to see once when he thought i wasn't watching he even tried to false cast needles to say he landed in a tangle so i sorted him out and told just to lift it off the water for noe till he gets the hang of it.
And he's only 6 (well 7 on the 20th)
