Hi,

This thread started out great, and only got better! It's so great to see so many efforts to get kids outdoors, and to spread the word about it.

We've had a high school fly fishing club for a dozen years or more, and teach every 8h grader (200 a year) to cast a fly rod. It's very do-able. There are a couple national efforts to expand fly fishing into phys ed programs; the next Fly Rod and Reel will have an article; National Fly Fishing in Schools is expamding; the "Last Child in the Woods" movement has great steam.

Great time to be young
