My boy’s have been fishing since they were old enough to walk but they grew up in the back of a bass boat. I took a 15 year hiatus from fly fishing so they had no exposure to it other than seeing old pictures of me and my friends. Last fall, I sent the oldest one off to college in Montana and he had never touched a fly rod...I failed as a father
. After football season he told me he wanted to get into it since I had dove back in. Today we went on our first trip and he got to put a bend in his new rod…small bend but it can all feel a little bit like voodoo until it happens a few times.
