In Pennsy they let the kids (and kids only) fish before opening day of trout season.
Nice job on the mentoring !!!

That was a great story. Im 54 years old and when I was a boy we fished all summer long. It is great when you hear about a young boy who wants to fish.I know just like the rest of the people on this site how my first fish changed my whole life and 50yrs later fishing is still one of my greatest joys. You gave that boy a great gift Good Job

What a man . After a day full of bs it was refreshing to read such a story . Probably one of the best gifts that boy will ever have .

LA great story! Kids and fishing are a natural. If more kids were introduced to the sport early on, their lives would be incrementally better. Aside from the therapeutic benefits of the sport, fishing teaches kids patience (or they at least get exposed to it early), respect for the outdoors, respect for the resource and as Luan experienced because of your mentoring a sense of accomplishment and pride. I'm convinced if more children were introduced to fishing the right way, we'd have less kids whose lives revolve around social media and more kids with a sense of purpose and better values in this world. LA while that experience was fulfilling for you, I guarantee you Luan will be talking about it for weeks if not months. Something we should all think about if we ever have a chance to take a child fishing, it'll change their life. Great job!
