Hi Snake,

He could get a standard 9' #5 or 6 line outfit for the lighter stuff now
and then get a larger #7-8 weight rig for those bigger fish and bigger
fliers later?

He might need a casting lesson? You might be able to hire a local fly
fishing guide/instructor to spend a day with you guys or hire a person out
of one of the local fly shops to give you and your day some instruction.

You need to get you dad to a place in the next summer where he can easily
catch some fish on a fly rod or he might just go back to spinning for
them.

Get him to take you to Montana, British Columbia or ever Alaska next
summer?

oohhh, i like that idea ;-)

my estranged father has recently made a reappearance in my life. he
seems tickled to death that i fish, as he spins. while talking on the
phone the other night, he said that if we are going to be doing any
fishing together he might as well get some fly fishing gear. he likes to
fish for trout, but greatly enjoys fishing for walleye, pike and the
like. he is coming for a visit over christmas and wants to pick up some
stuff while he's here. what do ya'll suggest? any help will be
appreciated-
