Hey everyone,
So I just rediscovered fishing. I hadn't been doing it since I was probably 5 and would go with my grandpa. As you can imagine, at that age I wasn't able to soak up the wealth of fishing secrets he possessed before he passed away.

So, now 24 years later I am back into it and really becoming obsessed. I slow down at every stream I cross while driving and if given the opportunity will gladly trade any day off for a day on the water.

I have started fly fishing learning mainly on YouTube and a lot of reading. I am at a point now where I have gotten decent at fly casting and regularly catch panfish and bass. So that has been great.

The problem I am having is I am starting on this lifelong adventure of fishing with my 5yo son. I dug out my grandas old zebeco 33s and he has spin casting and really had taken to casting with that and the fly seems to much for him at this point (maybe Santa later this year will change that). I just don't really know how to fish with other tackle and I really want to help him get some catches so he gets to share on that. I have a good understanding it seems at finding the fish and all on streams. I just have no idea what kind of bait/lures to use for this type of fishing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. He's very excited about it and it has been so much fun to share this with him. If you have any advice about bait, methods, or anything of that nature. I will take,
advice, weblinks or book recommendations.

Anyways,

Tight lines as always.
