We all went to the Rakaia Gorge today to have a fish. I really wanted to get Jackson started with the spinning rod and also try him on the fly rod.
It turns out he was an excellent caster, and hit the far bank a few times! I also have him a go with the fly rod and he seemed to get the idea.
A few small rises, but they were mostly tiddlers. It was really just a great practice day for Jack to learn his casting.
I think I’ll take him up a real back country river next and see if we can get him into a trout! He’ll love that!
My cool kid…
Check out this wee baby brown trout that gobbled my nymph! it was tiny! Still Jack was happy to see a fish.
Even Livvy got into it with her little rod!
