2LH... that's what I call Dad's rule. My dad taught me... more years ago then I care to remember... that you always bring out more than you take in. I tried to pass that onto my son and now we are teaching my grandson the same thing. He's a little younger than your son at 5, but it's never too young to start teaching them hopefully the right way. We had taken him fishing to a local stock pond and managed a few fish, but he learned that there is more to it than just fishing. We walked the banks and saw deer tracks and beds, laughed at how silly Canada geese looked when they got their gear down and are landing and then we picked up a few feathers for me to make him a special fly. After awhile, I couldn't get to the trash can. He'd pull the trash out of my hand telling me he'd get it. Next project is going to be his little 20 month old brother. He's going to be a challenge, that's for sure.
