Rustic-Fisher Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Took the little guy for a few hours to some stocked rainbow ponds . Kid had a blast !! And so did I LOL. With a Rod rigged with 2lb fluorocarbon a small float and worm the kid was a force to be reckoned with. At age 3.5 he's enjoyed a few successful outings already BUT today he blew me away!! In the hour we were there we caught fish steady, enough to coax an angler and his 3 year old to make the walk around and fish right beside us. On the rivers or in a boat you'd lose your mind but the trout ponds are for kids so I was hoping to see the little guy hook one . After a chat with the other father we learned that they hadn't hooked anything all day. Not ten seconds after hearing that we're into another . I ask my son if he'd like to give his rod to the other little boy so he can reel one in and his words exactly " that's a great idea"!! He stood by the other little fisherman shouting instructions and words if encouragement . I couldn't of been more proud. That's what it's all about.

spincast Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 great way to introduce a kid to the fun. I did the same with my daughter and she still loves fishin' ( not as much as G, but he's as nuts as me ) great story about his sharing the rod - I bet the little man he handed the rod to was ear to ear smiles.

Ron Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Nothing I like more to hear than getting kids hooked on fishing. Your absolutely right, stocked ponds were invented with kids in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustic-Fisher Posted May 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Other little guy landed his fish , and the boys took turns trying to subdue the flopping trout it was priceless LOL. Really made me wonder, the next time I'm fishing a crowded pool on a river and I'm getting fish ( wishful thinking) maybe I should pass my rod to the new guy who's just starting instead of coursing to myself about how this guys messing everything up.
