habitata,feeding habit,fishing techniques baits to catch it, tie 3
flies catch fish with 1, casting proficiency at 30 ft, draw a pic of 3
different reel explain how each works, draw a pic of fish label each
part and it's function, replace line on a reel, make simple pole and
line catch a fish on it, catch a fish on artificial bait, pratic
fishing 5 times complying with rules and regs.......I don't think I am
going to do this with all the scouts looks like a winter project for
me and my grandson to spend some quality time together that part I
know I will enjoy...........

That is expecting a very great deal from a small boy. It is not really
that difficult to dress a fly, after one has learned some fine
manipulatory skills, ( which is the main problem actually), but as for
the rest, that is a really tough agenda for a six year old, and I don´t
think it is within reasonable expectations at all.

Going fishing with dad or granddad should be fun, and the learning
experience incidental.
