Last Sunday, I took my 2 1/2 year old Granddaughter Tori fishing for the 2nd time. This trip, she said, "Grandpa needs to fish too", so I broke out my 8' 3 wt. To show how closely she watches, she tried "fly casting" her 2' Zebco, & while Grandpa was untangling the mess, she grabbed my fly rod & laid out all 10-15' of line I had left laying on the ground (1st picture). On her 4th cast, she caught the dandy 8 1/2" gill pictured on a "Grandpa tied" woolly worm. To me, the most amazing thing was that, even though I had told her to just reel the line in, she had watched so closely that she was stripping the line in! That's when the gill hit. Looks like I may have to contract good buddy Joe Valencic to build a mini fly rod, as she didn't touch the Zebco the rest of the day! Enjoy...











She made my day!
