Karen and I have 5 grandkids. They all have shown lots of interest in fishing, even the three year old. Our 9 year old twins grandkids hiked in to meet us at a backcountry camping area. Their parents hauled an amazing amount of gear in to ensure they had everything. One of the boys became under the weather and had to stay at our camp but his brother hiked up over a mountain pass with his dad. He then started to fly fish with one of our rods. It did not take too long to connect with his first brook trout! He managed to catch and release a few more. What a great time. I was thrilled to see his enthusiasm for fly fishing and his love of hiking in the backcountry. Karen and I were thrilled. I hope his brother feels a lot better the next time he gets to the backcountry!
