First welcome to FAOL....friendly group here....wood carving as a hobby????....and taking up fly fishing?????.....my suggestion is catch those bluegills and bass with your daughter....take a picture before releasing them....then carve examples of the fish caught.....and maybe your daughter can help paint them with you....any way, welcome....and good to hear you're getting your daughter out with a fly rod
"No matter how complicated life can get -- remember life is sometimes like fly fishing; after turning over every rock in the river trying to "match the hatch", you have probably spooked every fish for miles -- so don't let the "little things" BUG you -- just enjoy whatever you find." Mike Ormsby
