Posts: 168 | @ Shawn - Thanks much. @ Fred - I feel like I ride her too much sometimes, but I guess it does pay off. @ Philip - She does love the waders, although they are just a bit big on her. These waders were actually, relatively cheap. She is 8 and has been fly fishing with me for 2 years. I can only take her to places I feel totally comfortable with. I worry about her safety in so many situations. (I'm sure you can relate) | |

 Posts: 1776 | Good for you two. Sharing something between you is what really counts. Hey, she could use a fighting butt on that rod -not hard to make. And... most rod grips are too big around for kids, and many women. If you can dedicate a rod to her, sand down the grip. That, and a fighting butt, will make such a workout much more bearable. We take our tackle for granted, not only bc we're older and stronger, but also bc our gear simply fits us. As a comparison, there's a reason why an upper fighting grip is added to big game saltwater rods. Not a bad idea either, if she's going to be catching more big salmonids. | |
