If you saw my post last week, looking for comments on beginner's fly
fishing
outfits, you know I'm about to take a class. I offered my 14 yr old son
the
opportunity to join me. He said he wants to learn, but not from a class.
"You taught me how to fish - how about you teach me to use a fly rod?"
Sometimes, arguing with a 14 yr old is like ****ing into the wind. He
will,
however, take a book to the bathroom for his daily "one hour on the
throne".
Anyone got a favorite book which explains tippets, knots, casting ideas,
etc?


If by chance your son is a Boy Scout, suggest that he takes the Fly Fishing
Merit Badge. http://www.tu.org/conservation/youth/boy_scout_mb.asp
