How young can you take a child fly fishing?

one should be at least a little bit older than the child.

it just stands to reason...

I took my son fishing last year several times at 4 years old. I had him casting a spinning rod and reel moderately well (most of the time) with a casting bubble and a bit of worm on a small jig. He was able to catch the fish himself for the most part and loved it. But fly fishing? No way. I wouldn't take my kids fly fishing until they are 7 or 8. Teach him how to spincast first, then spinning. Jumping right to a method of fishing that I put off learning myself until I was 30 isn't something I'd advise.

I was very young when dad took me fishing,I almost drown,because I wouldn't let go of the rod,and the big carp was pulling the babycoach underwater.He ran and grabbed me and held me by my waist to land that fish,which I did,been fishing ever since.i don't think I was even 2 at the time,and he says he knew i would be a fisherman,he was right.I love it.You can demonstrate to the tot what it is you are doing,(keep him in a safe place,with an attendant,and see if he is interested,which might not last long if you don't catch anything.) then if the interest is there,you can lead him into learning how to go about it,no sense wasting time this early if he doesn't have any interest.then as he gets a little older,like six reintroduce it again to him,he could be more receptive by then.My son is now eighteen,and I took him fishing when he was little,he liked it then,but the interest died,and he has no interest in it now,oh well.

Deciding when to teach your child to fly fish has little to do with their age and much to do with their skills and maturity. Your child must have the physical maturity and dexterity to handle the rod, to hook the fish, and to place the fly. They must have the mental discipline to follow multi- step directions and stick to the process through their learning curve.

Some children can begin as young as seven or eight. Others do better if started when they are twelve or thirteen. Evaluating your child's readiness to learn will save you frustration and avoid ruining your future fly fishing companion.

While the art and skill associated with fly fishing are more rewarding, learning to fly fish properly is more challenging. While fly fishing is an active sport which often appeals to virile young men and women, it requires greater coordination and physical skill to properly execute.

Once your child is ready to learn, you need to decide who will teach them. While parents are often a good choice, do you have the patience and the skill to teach someone else - particularly someone who has a shorter attention span. If you feel confident you are skilled enough to tackle the job, great. If not, consider hiring a tutor or a patient and competent fisherman.

i think of that the main suitable beginner pets for a customary starter may be the two a Leopard Gecko or a Bearded Dragon. Or in case you experience extremely unusual A Spiny Tailed video show. Leopard Geckos are actual low-value at present and are available a great form of colorings and types. so some distance as i understand they do no longer stay as much as 30 years. in all risk extra around 15 - 20. The oldest i've got seen grew to become into 24 and there's a video of it on youtube. Like I suggested nonetheless, Spiny Tailed video show gadgets or 'Ackies' are a effective option to Bearded Dragons. They strengthen to around the comparable length and have very comparable standards as they're from the comparable u . s . a .. be constructive to verify up on in spite of you p.c. as much as accessible in the previous you purchase. you may't bypass incorrect then :) good success with your decision.

You can start any child fishing as long as they are able to walk on their own. The fact is, they get tired fast, get bored faster and they tend to wander. Keep the trips short, provide plenty of food, drinks and just make it an over-all fun learning experience. Let the child catch a fish ( you'll have to hook it for them and pass the rod) and let them have at it with your assistance. Let them play with the baits ( as long as it's safe and not the lures ), give 'em a beat up rod to swing around , let 'em throw those rocks, it's part of the experience. The idea is to show them as much as you can without pushing the fishing part on them hard. The cool part of it all is when you do catch a fish and hand over the rod. He reels it in and it's smiles all around. There's nothing in this world that is more beautiful than a child smiling.

So get out there, take the necessities, keep it short, teach with fun in mind and keep those memories. They don't stay young forever.~Good luck catchin'.

Sure why not? agreed a child that age will have a short attention span and at 3 won't comprehend fly fishing tactics but you can certainly teach basic role casting and take them to a trout pond where they are guaranteed to catch a fish.

Yeah, if you want him to actually fish then 5 and fly fish at 10

Lulz... silly Pedo7of9... Y U so silly? I was 2 years old when I caught my first largemouth bass. It wasn't more than a pound, but I did catch it on my own.

He's probably a little too young to start fly fishing. But you can always try it. Make sure he's wearing a life vest... you don't want him to fall and land in the water and get carried off now, do you? He might get confused by a giant steelhead for an big egg sac.

Awful young. If the desire is there, it's wonderful for hand eye co-ordination. Those tiny eyes are precious too. Line speed is capable of breaking the sound barrier at the tip. When I was getting close to 8th birthday, pops gave me an old rod tip and some braided line. Perseverance and practice was rewarded on my 8th birthday. There's small version spin casters around, but IMHO, 3 is a bit too wee to flirt the flea.
