My 10-year-old daughter expressed interest in learning how to cast a
fly line so I took her out on the lawn last night and she fooled
around for a while. I set her up with my Cabelas 3-Forks rod, gave her
some pointers, and she started getting the hang of it right away. I
thought she'd get bored after a few minutes but she practiced for
nearly an hour.

When she was done, she asked me when she could try casting on the
water and I told her she had practiced enough that it was time to head
out to the neighborhood bass pond, which we did today. She ended up
catching 6 or 7 bass on a bead-head Prince nymph and she had a great
time.

I gotta say... I'm pretty psyched.
