Awesome video of a dad and son having fun fishing together!!!!

[@bobbie7355]

I miss my Dad 😔❤ and I'm his first daughter at 60.

[@DBruner-cf1qp]

Happy Birthday Huston. Its been wonderful watching you grow up. Learning is great.

[@lillywas1dog579]

It is so good to see Son & Dad fishing I like it.

[@mariacambre8971]

Me too.

[@vickibird8007]

Happy early Birthday, Houston! Fly-fishing is a skill...so I've heard. It's a shame the rod broke. I imagine that you guys would have done a lot of video searching for techniques, etc. Maybe you will be able to get another replacement soon. Have a great day!

[@terrydawson5027]

I learned some years ago how to flyfish from a very experienced fishing guide. The most important thing he stressed was to practice casting without a lure on the line until I was very comfortable using the fly rod which took a couple weeks practice every day. I was very glad for his great advice because one time my leader struck me in the eye while practicing. Just be very careful learning to cast the flyrod.

[@jeanettewolfenbarger1256]

My mother used to fly fish in the rivers of Western Oregon and she loved it. She caught trout and Catfish. My grandfather would fly fish a few yards away and it was a competition to catching the biggest fish. It is a lot of fun and an art to fish smoothly. I was little at that time, so when she took me I would just watch. For your first time you did good, to bad the rod broke.

[@catfromillinois6646]

You are SO NOT a failure Daniel, you can't replace all the memories you are creating with Houston! It really shows the great job you have done with raising Houston also, when he is so forgiving and caring with you and just has fun with it! Happy Birthday Houston, and can't wait to see some more Fly fishing!!! 🥳🐟🐟

[@jtdamomma]

You did well for a 1st time-both of you! One trick is when you get the fly where you want it-slowly pull the line back towards you, so it floats like it's moving. Then, that attracts the fish! Happy birthday Houston!

[@lauranewgren7087]

My dad taught me how to fly fish for trout when I was about 10. When he got a new reel and pole I inherited his. It was taller than me. To this day I still have it and I'll be 65 in December.

[@edblough4134]

I think when Houston dropped the rod the tip shattered but stayed together until you put the slightest pressure on it. Fly rods out of fiberglass, graphite and/or carbon fiber do that. Bamboo seems less likely to break.

[@chrismansbarger4324]

I suggest you guys go to your local bass pro. They do classes on fly fishing and how to tie them and everything else. That flyrode probably broke when Houston dropped it. Happy Birthday Houston!!

[@FREEDOMREDBIRD]

Fantastic gift from Ed! I love fly fishing, it’s so much fun! General rule is cast 10-2, slow down and don’t slap the water. Did you put tippet line onto the fly line? And you pull the line in a little at a time. If you could come to Tenkiller lake I could show Houston how to use it. If your using dry flies you need the dry fly dressing to make it float. Happy Birthday Houston, you got a gift that you will learn to love! That second fly is a wet fly for underwater fishing, should be fishing facing upstream. Oh no Daniel broke it 😂

[@lyleloomis3493]

Happy birthday Houston, you practice with that rod and in no time you’ll have it down great . No dad has to go get a fly rod . You’ll have to learn the types of lines to use and how you tie the knots and which flys you use with the bug hatch . You’ll be ok , don’t worry about rod breaking , that happens a lot .

[@pamb2734]

There may be some fly fishing tips videos on YT in your future! Houston will have to learn to tie his own flies!

[@donnagarrett5196]

You two will have to find some videos for setting up your rod, and which flies to use for what and how to cast, but you did fantastic for straight out of the box and no clue of what to do....Happy Birthday! Houston

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

That was a wonderful gift from Ed Kirkpatrick. I found out not that long ago that he has a KZbin channel under his name. He's a good man. Now I am waiting for Houston to get into making his own flies! I have seen some very beautiful ones in my life. I bet Ed could teach him. 💖💖💖

[@barbtaylor1619]

What was funny about this was when Huston was cashing and Jemma was behind him she kept jumping everytime the fly went wizihg by her!!😂 Good job on the first time with a fly rod!😊

[@cindymorley7938]

Happy Birthday Houston it has been a joy watching you grow and watching you and your dad making video's.

[@TheLadybiker]

Great job guys. Learning to cast is best in an open yard without a fly. But you guys did great for the first time. Use small flys in your creak.

[@mel49ers]

Happy birthday Houston an bet you master this before long! My brother in law stood in the yard learning to cast ! Used a bucket as his target

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

Wait until Houston discovers the art of making his own flies! He'll be hunting down feathers & cork lol

[@deanvinlove6095]

And how to repair your broken rod ! Lol

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

@@deanvinlove6095 lol.

[@CLepper61]

I can make fly it's very interesting. There's popper, spiders, Trout flies all kinds and colors. Try a pan fish popper glow in the dark. Fish will love them just before dark.

[@vickibwarren9722]

​@@deanvinlove6095I don't know but I don't think the rod should have snapped like it did!

[@kevdawgak5428]

Thats just like me lol i do it

[@gkiferonhs]

Why, y'all knew exactly what you were doing; you were having fun!!

[@joanhale2420]

I remember my husband practicing his cast in the yard for hours. He started tying his own flies, and now that's all he does is fly fish. Houston you did great for the first time. Keep practicing.

[@anncairns1099]

Happy Birthday Houston 🎉 From the heart, like an arrow Guardians of the Galaxie volume 2😊

[@diannecrockett8207]

Houston out fished you Daniel. Good job teaching him though. You’re such a good dad and I can see just how much that young man loves you. Happy Birthday Houston. Love to all❤️

[@SteveLees-pb1rq]

Watching a few Fly Fishing videos did me a world of good when I first started Fly Fishing and would Houston master it in no time at all!

[@grannygoes]

Happy Birthday Houston! 🎉 It’s such a pleasure watching you grow up.

[@Salmomlox]

Houston is doing well fly fishing 🎣 Happy Early Birthday, Houston 🎂

[@CLepper61]

You will love it. My father taught me. Take fly cut barb off, and place a 5 gal bucket at a fair distance then cast Toward the pale. This will help you learn to put your fly exactly where you want it in the water. 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock.

[@kayhobson3744]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOUSTON, oh and i was already watching back when dad broke your first rod. you crying made me tear up also and the first haircut oh my i cried like your mom was. lol you a good handsome young man. stay that way.

[@kimmontgomery54]

Bless it! It’s okay guys! Daniel, send it back! And buy one for yourself and then y’all can fish together! Houston did a great job with it being his first time! Love and blessings from this old Bama girl!❤❤❤

[@tiggerhaines4307]

Glad to see that Houston enjoys fishing a lot at such a young age to now. I have been watching and catching up on a lot of your videos.

[@charleshunter5977]

Guess Ed's going to need to start sending Daniel a cheap one to brake and send Houston a good one😂😅 great video as always

[@maryiverson5874]

Love seeing your son learn another skill. He is a good fisherman for his age. Of course with Jimmy Houston as a mentor also he has a lot of good training going on. .

[@sharonanderson4688]

Happy early birthday Houston. What a nice gift, it is one type of fishing I have never done either. I just finished watching DeJay's video, I am so very sorry about the loss of Dolly. Rj is going to miss his momma :( Houston could start his own fishing KZbin channel

[@lilahnewton7940]

LOL 😂😆 "I GOT A FISH, DO I REEL IT IN OR WHAT"!! 🤣😂 hahaha

[@deannacalef3513]

That was fun to watch Houston's delight. Hope he gets into tying flies too.

[@monkeypuzzlefarm]

There are plenty of video tutorials to teach you the basics of fly casting. Houston has a good form, but really needs to learn the proper technique. I am sure that he will become an awesome fly fisherman! The casting technique is to not only lengthen the line, but also to spot place the fly in the water. The retrieving techniques depend on whether you have a dry or wet fly, but also whether you have floating or sinking line. You can practice casting in any open field (just dont have a fly on).

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Houston

[@RatdogDRB]

10-o'clock to 2-o'clock is the motion. And, yes, smoothly. The line should come to rest on the water. The less you disturb the water the better.

[@lilahnewton7940]

Houston your a natural at fly fishing. Great job. Thank you Mr Ed.

[@darenferrell6656]

My grandfather on my dad’s side was a fisherman of all kinds. He also use to hand make all of his on fly rod baits. I remember seeing several of them as a child but I don’t know who has them or what happened to them. I I just remember they looked so much like real flies. Pretty cool Houston got one for his birthday. Happy Birthday Houston !

[@karynneves4731]

I agree it shouldn’t of snapped so send it back and get a new one and Daniel get one of your own so you both can fish together!! Happy early birthday Houston!❤🎉

[@sharisiragusa8271]

Love watching you guys fly fish....Reminds me of my childhood when we vacationed in Colorado every summer and my dad loved to fly fish for trout in the stream....Always Fun to learn something new!....By the way, Happy Birthday Houston!! 😊

[@tracysmith7935]

Fly fishing takes finesse. My dad, uncle, cousin and brother had their favorite fly fishing creek where they frequented every weekend through the summer. It's a skill well worth the learning.

[@zenagain]

Happy Birthday Houston!!! Sorry about the pole but hey, you caught one Thanks Daniel for posting this as always.

Maybe the rod is under warranty. Worth checking into. Happy Birthday Houston!

A bad day of fishing ( especially with your kids) is still better than a good day at work 😁.

[@leannekenyoung]

Way to go Daniel!!! Broke your son’s rod for a second time?! You know there may not be a third time! He may never let you use his new rods again after this!!! At least you could see his maturity and how much he’s grown since the last time. But come on Dad!!! Geez!!! Lol😂🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@averyllpenwright2222]

That was fun watching you both fly fishing❤❤

[@sarahjaneyoung8566]

Good job you guys. One of favorite things to do is go back home at the end of October and go to Bennett Springs in Missouri and watch fly fishing. It's a blast!

[@user-bs4kf7hj3e]

Houston, I've only tried that twice in my life. I'm 62 but you did better than I did. And your first try, congratulations. Keep it up, God bless you guys.

[@davidr6447]

Happy B-Day Houston! One thing I learned when I started fly fishing...When you pull the fly back from the water give the line time to lay out flat in the air behind you. You can feel it pull back slightly. That is when you flip it forward toward the point you want you fly to land. Don't whip snap the line out, it will pop your fly off the line of pop all the fluff off your fly! Try to be kind to your fly! I watched a video of the guys who use Fly Rods to catch Tarpon in Florida! So much fun!

[@cyndeemcguire8524]

[@gracewashburn8276]

Oh my goodness fishing with a fly rod is a whole new arch of fishing you get different kinds of flies different size flies flies with big feathers, flies with little feathers flies of multiple colors. Oh it’s incredible but reeling in a fish with a fly reel is so much more different than you imagine it is so much fun and a challenge.❤❤❤❤❤

[@Brenda-bb8hk]

Well, it was fun while it lasted! I’m sure that that fly rod should not have broken that easily and you should be able to get a replacement for it. It look like a lot of fun. Hopefully you’ll get a new one and can practice and get better and catch the big fish sometime. I think that Houston handled that pretty well today not like he did this little red rod. Thanks for sharing your day with us! 💕 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOUSTON! 🎊🎂🎁🎈🎉

Awesome memories, great video. I love fly fishing 🎣 💜💜💜

[@greeneyes8041]

Way to go Houston! I am 45 years old and I have never been fly fishing. But I do love fishing

[@DH-un9el]

Good job Houston first time out! I’m from Ga and we do alot of fly fishing in the mountains for trout... One thing to remember about fly fishing.. it’s not about the wrist action.. it’s forearm action. Not snapping with the wrist, but linger slower overhead or sidearm sweeping motion. It’s called fly fishing because the flies mimic a fly overhead of the fish. The see the fly going over them and hit it. So a couple, three, four fly overs with the jig then land it on the water. Y’all really did great for your first time out! Happy Birthday Houston!

[@charlescook1720]

Love yalls channel. You are doing what most dads cant do. That is living the lifestyle that is living your life to the fullest. I have watched almost all of yalls videos and have to say you and your wife are truly god fearing and loving. Keep up the great job.

Happy birthday Houston. Fly fishing is an amazing way to fish and very addictive. My Grandpa taught me when I was about your age on a pond in a flat bottom alum. boat, and i have fished all over the country. I would give a million dollers to fish with him one more time.

Used to fly fish some at a small lake called Magoon lake in eastern Oregon. All the fish were native Brown and Speckled trout. Amazingly good eating!
