Hi folks, RW here

My uncle started me fishing at about age 4. I started my own twin boys at about the same age. I started them with canepoles so they would stay interested by catching a lot of fish, and could catch fish without all the cordination problems of casting and the like at that young age. By age 8 they were handling baitcasting outfits without backlashes, and from then on it was just more learning process. They were even featured in a feature article I did for "Outdoor Life" in 1971. At age 45 they still fish with me often for trout, bass and on steelhead trips. They both fly fish. It's never too early to start kids fishing. In fact, my grandson holds two IGFA line class junior world records.

Later, RW
