My daughter hears a great deal about fly fishing, and she has joined me fishing from a boat several times. She also has several fishing games with which she loves to play. As a little girl just approaching her third birthday, however, she has yet to actually fish, herself. Still, she loves to grab or rod or reel, when I have one sitting out. Today, after rescuing a favorite rod from her, I pulled out a Hardy Glass “Aln” rod and matching Flyweight reel, which were given to her by close friends when she was only a few months old. Her fishing attire was a lady bug costume, as she happened to be pining for Halloween. I’m almost certain–very hopeful, at least–that she will be ready to fish within a year’s time.
