My lads first trout! I think the smile says it all.
Casting a fly is going to take a lot of practice and perseverance but he is determined to crack it-well I hope so as at the moment I seem to spend more time in the bushes and up trees, retrieving flies and tippets, than teaching him to fish. Just wish my Grandfather was still around to witness it as he was the head gamekeeper at Wallington Hall in Northumberland and used to tickle brownies on the river Wansbeck.

Well done!

Cracking!! my Lad and Lass are both avid fly fishers now.

I had 2 good days at Pitsford Fri/Sat for the Airflo International.

Just looked at the photo again-about time I gave him a few lessons on how to use the lawnmower as well!
Trout went into the smoker last night so looking forward to tea tonight.

I thought about getting one of these when my lad was young. I didn't in the end because we went down the coarse fishing route but it might be worth a think. There are some youtube clips around and it looks like a good idea for that age group. Might save you some flies!
