My one grandson was going fishing with his outdoor recreation class. Well it was probably best that we set him up with a spinning rod or some sort. I went down to the basement and finally found a casting rod and reel. I put on 6 pound line and then I went to Canadian Tire to get some small bobbers. The plan was to hang flashbacks below a 25 cent bobber.
Well it was time for an experiment. I used my fly rod and Karen used the spinning rod with a bobber and two flashbacks about 5 feet down. Our set ups were the same except Karen had a bobber big enough so she could cast it out!
Well after and hour, it was a tie, 5 each! The only challenge that Karen had was setting the hook was a bit harder. It was a lot easier to cast, especially for our grandson. I hope his day on the water is lots of fun!
Sometimes, fly fishing with a spinning rod just makes sense. It certainly will help kids get out and have a chance to catch some trout!
