My daughter, Ruth. She opened the bail, held the line, cast the bobber/soft-hackle combo, hooked the fish and reeled it in, then held it for a picture by herself. Only thing she didn’t do was unhook it. She was so proud, and so was I!
5 years old is a good start. This and two other reports were stuffed into a big original entry. Check it out. That’s my girl!
I have a 66 year old friend who still struggles with a spinning reel and rod.
Great report and pic!
Great picture. My granddaughter is five and can cast a fly well with her 6’ 6" 2 wt. However, she soon gets bored. Unless a fish is on the hook. She has to take it off and put it back in the water. If she’s with us woe be to the grandfather who slips a bluegill back in the water himself.
That’s great! Nothing like getting them started early!
