Teaching my Kids to Fly Fish

I was able to go back to the Reaching outdoor camp, because I needed to film a few things for an advertisement video I am making for them. However this time I brought my family. My two children had a blast playing in the water and fishing. After I got some of the filming done in the morning that I needed to do, I was able to get out and fish with my kids. We didn't have a lot of time, but that is ok because there were enough fish here to have both my kids catch multiple, and in such a short amount of time. It's the perfect spot for little kids as the fish aren't far away, and only require very light roll casts to reach.
If you want to sign your child up for camp this summer, go to www.reachingoutdoors.org and search for their calendar to see what events are coming up. There are a few different age groups, so make sure you sign your son up for the appropriate age level. I will be teaching the fly fishing section, but they have other great instructors teaching things like archery and hunting.
Also check out my sponsor Risen Fly. They made the rods I fished with today. These are some of my favorite rods ever, and they are so reasonably priced. Best off you all get a discount just for being my subscriber! So type in McFly at checkout for 15% off your first order with them.

What type of flies are you using

[@McFlyAngler]

The flies were a foam hopper type fly. The sunfish were going crazy for them. Since it was my kids Fishing, I decided not to go after big bass or anything, but to ensure that they catch a fair amount of fish which means sunfish.

What an amazing spot to bring the fam. My sons (6 and 8) love catching pan fish on fly rods. Its amazing how quickly they learn when you have patience with them.

[@McFlyAngler]

Yes, sunfish probably are the best to teach kids on. They do learn quickly that’s for sure

Hey, really cool seeing you with the family teaching the kids to fly fish. It reminds me of when I used to do that too, and it was and kinda difficult. Doing video at the same time must make it even tougher. Very nice day on the water and lots more in the future. God bless and enjoy!

[@McFlyAngler]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah filming wasn’t Easy. As you can see I didn’t focus much on the filming. Haha!

[@Unnaturalfly]

Great to see your kids having fun with their dad. Don’t forget to teach them to wet there hands before they touch the fish. 🎣

[@McFlyAngler]

Yeah they had fun. And yes, I didn’t press the issue here because their hands were wet. They were playing and splashing in the water. But when they get older and understand better, yeah for sure

I haven’t gone fly fishing in a while and I’m sad

[@McFlyAngler]

Oh I know the feeling! I went like 6 months without being able to fish. I pray you get a chance to be able to soon.
