In my Spring issue of the Fishing Magician E-Letter I talk about a variety of species. I gave anglers some tips on how to fish for them and where to find good fishing. With the opening weekend of trout fishing coming up I wanted to share one of things I talked about. You know how kids like to cast. It is hard to get them to hold still and they always claim they are getting a bite, as an excuse to reel in and cast again. Here’s a way to take advantage of that. Put a casting bubble on their line and put a Woold Bugger type fly behind it in on three feet of leader. They can cast and retrieve this and have a very good chance of hooking something. I have used this method myself many times with excellent success. I also encourage the use of this technique as there is no bait on the hook and it is easy to release the fish. I also suggest that you use a bead-head version, as this will give even more action to the fly. So, here’s a way to turn the impatience of your kids into a productive method of fishing.
