Sunday is Son's Day.

Took my little man out fishing today. He stuck his first Largemouth. A six weight was a bit much for him to cast, so after a couple attempts, I placed him between my legs and helped him do the casting bit.

Later half of Jan, H, turned three. His birthday wish, was for dad to take him fishing. The following are pictures from my son's first largemouth landed on the fly. Although his attention span was limited to a little less then two hours, I will remember every minute of it, for the rest of my life.

Dad trying to hold, fish, rod and take picture of son -Wide Angle Lens, left at home- doh!

Way cool, Aaron. Love these pics. Esp. the 1st 2. :D
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

That black and white one is frame worthy.
Denny Crane: Ah. You can see them in there. Look at the crystal clear water. My fly went right by his nose. Eat it you picky *.
