I was scrounging thru some older photos and found one of my son when he was 6 years old (he is about twice that now). His favorite color is blue and when he was 4 or 5 I bought him a cheap fly rod off the auction site that was blue as well as a very inexpensive blue fly reel and blue floating fly line. A year or two later we were at the cabin and the bluegills were hanging around under the docks and I decided to really try to teach him how to fly cast with it. It didnt take him long to figure out how to flick a fly 20 ft and begin to catch fish on his own, somewhat haphazardously. The fly I gave him was what my grandmother (whom taught me how to flyfish at 9) called the "double ugly" which was her favorite fly and looked like a larger long version of a griffiths knat. I think a "double grey" may have been another name for the fly.
And it just happened (and i didnt realize or plan for it at the time) he was wearing blue crocs, blue plaid pants and a blue shirt.
In a couple of my past posts showing my affinity towards green fly and spincasting tackle i did the same thing sort of by accident fishing for pike and that was what got me thinking about a previous situation that occurred with my son and wanted to share it!
Thanks for looking!
Mike
