Forgive the last minute plea for guidance, but I was happily surprised to learn my 5 year old son earned his fishing reward by meeting all his goals at kindergarten this week (the elusive "perfect week").
So now where do I take him? He's been twice before and caught 3 fish total with a lot of waiting between hits (bait fishing). Standard fishing for most of us, obviously, but he was largely bored to tears unless there was an actual fish on the line. What can I say--he's five and has the attention span of a gnat on amphetamines. We're working on it.
This time around I'd like to get him hooked with plenty of success early and often. That's how my dad got me; Penny Lake in Idaho--I got a hit on almost every cast and I'll never forget it.
We live in Sandy, but I'd be willing to drive a bit if necessary. Obviously, feel free to PM me if you'd prefer not to post. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. (I'd prefer not to do a "fish farm" for lack of a better term, since he wants me to fish along with him.)
Thanks in advance! I love this place.
