Charlie's first fish on a fly

Charlie and I went to the Black River on Saturday with Uncle Dan. Charlie usually spin fishes but wanted to try some fly fishing later in the day. After reeling in several I hooked, he started casting and doing it all by himself. Caught his first fish without any help from Dad (except cheering). It was a smallmouth bass on a diver type fly tied by his dad.

Didn't see a lot of my fly rod after that - he's hooked.

Like father, like son. That is awesome. Great picture. He looks so happy!

All of these terms are very confusing! We used hot dogs on the end of a fishing rod from Wal-mart!
