Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Any action on the Potomac?

Funny you are asking. He turned 8 today. The folks at Orvis suggested 11-12, but he was doing some short range casting with my fly rod today while I untangled his rod from time to time. I was surprised that he could even do it. Any tips would be appreciated!  

He truly loves fishing.  We were out there 6 hours and he did not want to leave.

How old is your son? You might be able to get him started on the fly sooner than you think.

Today was his 8th birthday and he got his wish of a slightly larger rod and of course asked to hit the river. We went an hour north to Dam 5 on the Potomac and had tons of fun. 12 smallies wading back and forth through the river.  On the last cast of the day he sent a spinner right at the dam hit a massive bass. He got it about 4 feet away before the line snapped on his little rod.
