How To Avoid Common Mistakes When Teaching Your Child To Fish

By Stacy Robinson


It is best to teach the child to fish when they are young. By the time a child is about three or four years old they should have the motor skills to learn how to fish. They need appropriate fishing equipment for their size. Some companies make rods and reels especially for kids. They are very short rods and very cheap bait casting reels. They are just what a little kid needs.

It is best to go to a lake with a shore that gently slopes in. When kids get near water they want to get wet. If there is a sandy beach that is the best. Dress your child in shorts, t-shirt and sandals. Bring one or two changes of clothes. Bring along a couple of lawn chairs, an adult sized for you and a small child sized one. This will make things comfortable, but don't be surprised if you don't spend much time sitting. Kids like to get up and explore.

There are many positive aspects associated with fishing. It is a good way to relax and wind down from the pressure of day to day life. It is also a source of fresh healthy protein to supplement the usually high fat, high carbohydrate fast food diet. Fishing, through the purchase of licenses and joining fishing organizations helps promote wild life conservation. These are extremely valuable characteristics that most parents would love for their children to have. This makes teaching your children to fish a very high priority in life. But teaching a young child to fish can be quite a challenge.
