Teaching Girls to Fly Fish
Yeah BOB!!! Great article. Get them out there!
The absolute best times I remember with my dad are those time when he took me fishing. He was 46 when he passed away from leukemia. I pretty much packed my rods up then and I'm sorry to this day that my kids didn't get the same experience. Talk about regrets. The best gift you can give your kids are the time you take them fishing. Boy or girl...doesn't matter.
The girls love fly fishing for different reasons...and they are better anglers for it.
Girls are not harder to teach...
Lefty says girls are easier to teach because, "they don't know it all already and they listen!"
We had 2 boats full of lady fly fishers, captained by ladies, on the Chesapeake this past spring. These were 23 & 21 ft. open center consoles...that's right...open (no porta-potty and no shelter) and not only did the guys fishing near us not notice...all returned safe and sound, and ready to go again!
The only difference taking girls fishing is that we can't pee over the side...without a funnel and a hose.
