Teaching Kids to Cast
Spent some time teaching my youngest some basics. Started on grassy
field and worked about a half hour as he was pretty adamant about wanting to get on water. He is 16. We tried this process several years ago but he really was not ready. Did not have patience to contend with various aspects of process and learning curve involved. Also, like his Dad was (me) at that age, he was a little lacking in the coordination department. It went much better this time. He really wants to learn. He wants to guide some day and has the head knowledge to do it, but knows he must learn to handle a fly rod in addition to spinning gear. It seems like the hardest thing for me to get across to him is the feel of allowing the loop to roll out behind him. We got it down a bit, and then we went fishing. He'd go good for awhile, then start regressing. He would then ask me to look and see what it was he was doing wrong. Except when he asked, I tried to not even watch him. If anyone has any tips on this process I'd love to hear. Paul |
