Taking your children fishing for the first time is one of the most important things you may ever do with your kids. You get to show them something you know, they get to show you their first fish. Everyone has a great time. Lessons are learned about nature and our place in it and indelible memories are created.
A few key strategies will make these first outings go much smoother. As I mentioned in "Fly Fishing with Children Part 1 - Getting Them Started", the days when you are teaching your children to fish are not about you fishing but about them learning to fish. Don't expect to present any flies of your own. If you start with this in mind the day will be so much more rewarding for both you and your miniature anglers. Break the sport into bite-sized pieces so you can explain key concepts and so they will be able to ask questions as they think of them. Don't get yourself in a hurry. Take a breath and relax.
Create an opportunity for success: Pick water that you know is likely to yield as many opportunities as possible for catching fish. This may seem impossible these days but try to pick water that does not get over-fished. Go somewhere that contains a healthy population of fish and that is easily accessible. Mid-Summer is a great time for a first day on the water - the flows are down from run-off conditions, the bugs are thriving, the fish are settled in, what more could you want - everyone should be fishing!
Entomology: Take a minute at the start of the day to turn over some rocks and show your kiddos some great creepy-crawlies live and up-close. Squish a cased caddis out of it's shell so they can understand what's going on there. Just one, though. I don't think Mother Nature will mind. See if you can find some worms at the edges of the water under the rocks and dirt. Look for stone-fly husks on dry rocks and brush along the banks, they're very cool and dramatic examples of the diverse bug life on a creek or a river. Point out the tiny callibaetis larvae crawling around the bottoms of slimy upside-down rocks. Kids will roll bugs around their fingers all day if you let them.
Rigging: You will already have spent some time with your children in the park teaching them to cast, so now set them up with single-dry-fly-rigs that are easy to cast and don't tangle as much as multi-fly nymph rigs. Kids (or any other beginners, for that matter) do not need complicated and difficult to manage, much less cast, 2 or 3-fly "prospecting" rigs loaded with weight and strike indicators. Start them out with a nice parachute-style dry fly, like a Pale Morning Dun with a nice hi-vis post on it's back, a Royal Wulff, a Royal Humpy, a Royal Stimulator, a Parachute Adams - something they can keep an eye on as it drifts. Initially, the fishing is not as important as the comprehension of what they're trying to do.
Presentation: Talk to them about the presentation, hold a fly by the curve of the hook and imitate it's presentation and drift in front of their eyes - let them imitate the drift with their own fly and appreciate how handsome those hand-tied flies are in the bright Summer sun. Point out air bubbles in the currents and talk to them about keeping the rod tip moving at the same speed as the bubbles. Toss in a small stick and point out how it moves at the same speed as those bubbles - that's a good one. Discuss slack line and how it must be taken up so they can set the hook when they see a fish take the fly. Discuss the set, it should be gentle and easy, small but firm - so the presentation of the fly can continue down the stream if they miss the fish. This also helps develop good habits for the nymphing lesson they will get on another day.
Wading: We had a couple of rules when my kids were beginning to fish rivers and streams. They have always been great, competitive swimmers but they were only allowed to wade up to their knees. Any deeper and there were consequences. The other rule was that they had to remain upstream of me at all times. Simple, common-sense rules. They were broken regularly and consequences were handed out to match the "violation".
Finally: Let them fish. Now your job is to watch carefully for their safety as well as their frustration. Your job and your reward is to step to the rescue for those casting knots, snags, lost footings, and hopefully to help land a fish. You can fish on your own later.
Go enjoy your children!
