so I was fishing a local pond today, and an 11 year old kid comes up and asks me how to flyfish (mostly cast). He got a rod recently, but nobody he knows flyfishes.

In today's world can you even offer to take a kid fishing you don't know? Maybe I offer for the kid to meet me at the park sometime during the evening (with his mother in attendance )?

I don't have kids, but I really felt for the kid b/c he seemed so interested.

thoughts?
