While in Arkansas last week on vacation I had promised to help my daughter catch her first fish on her fly rod (built by her dad of course). On Friday morning I took her to Dry Run Creek and helped her move upstream casting to likely spots. She hooked a fish almost immediately, but had some line handling issues and he got off. it was pretty cool watching her cast her rod and trying to help her without being too demanding or critical. A friend of mine who is involved with the Tan Flies club at Cotter High School came down and met us at Dry Run and helped out a bunch, Thanks to Marc Oakes for sharing his time. In the end it was a sucessful day as you can see by the smile. I was smiling too...
