Ditto, but... teach them how to fish a fly rod and you will always catch fish

Ya don't need an expensive outfit for this

bluegills always fall for any "bug" that falls in the water. My Go-To pattern when fishing becomes slow.

There have been times I have come back to a boat ramp, yeah I have a boat, and found kids fishing and not catching, got the fly rod out and they were suddenly catching with a little coaching on how the get them in

My son when younger (4-7 y) learned the forward backward swing without actually casting when there was enough line out and out fished dear old dad

my 2cents

When you go to Meltzer's, ask for Mark Fuduli in the fishing dept.
He is WONDERFUL & will have you catching fish in no time.

I take my kids to Best Lake in Watchung and they always catch fish there using small live worms on a #8 hook. Lots of Sunfish, Bluegills and a few small cat fish. My daughter in 7 and my boy is 4.

thanks but that's a bit far. We went to Elmwood Park by the boat launch this evening and not a bite with 3 poles!!! Just alot of moss.

Can someone point me in the right direction of the river? I'm not talking an exact spot but maybe a town.
