We had our annual trout derby in McKinney last Saturday. There are hundreds od children and their parents, many of whom are fishing for the first time ever. I have also made it my mission to make sure that there is as much fly fishing exposure as possible. Several casting instructors volunteer their time to give lessons to whoever walks up and asks.

Well, this year my son Evan announced that he wanted to learn how to cast and would I teach him? I wisely passed him off to Steve Hollensed who coached him with enthusiasm and patience. Before long Evan came seeking me out across the pond to come and watch him cast. With great excitement he showed me how its done. You can't imagine how thrilling this is for me!

Now we have to come up with a fly rod for Evan. I am still floating just a bit off the ground.
