My son.
He's not really an "outdoor" type person.
I can get him to go with me once a year or so,and afterwards he'll tell me what a great time he had, but the next time it will be "not this time dad".
Fly fishing was the one thing that my father and I had in common and I still take him a few times each year. He can't fish anymore but he loves sitting in his wheelchair on the bank watching.
(You would be amazed at what a good angler you can be when it's not you doing the casting )
Maybe when my boy is older he will grow into fly fishing (17 next week).
Till then I'm not going to push him.
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
