I only started fly fishing last year, at the ripe old age of 37. Now, I hate the fact that I wasted 37 years fishing regular when I could have been fly fishing. I've got a 5 year old boy that loves to fish, and at least for now he wants to be like Daddy. (I realize and dread the days that are coming when he no longer wants to be like or even with Daddy, but for now I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.) He doesn't have the attention span for fly fishing yet, but I got to wondering what would be a good age to hand him a fly rod? Then I got to wondering how old everyone was when they started fly fishing?

So, how old was you?

What kind of rod did you have?

Where did you go?

Who with?

What was the first fish you caught?

Come on, its not like I asked you how old are you now? I know most of you are 39. A free trip down memory lane is sure to bring a smile to your face. The holidays are starting, we can reminisce. That is, unless we have the attention span of a 5 year old.

I'm sorry, what was I saying?

PS anyone know how to spell reminisce? remenisce? reminiss?
