My excuse is, I haven't messed with the fly, longer than she has been alive. The kid was making the prettiest and very accurate casts, that I have done in years. I think I teach better than do, lol.
Her 4 yr old sister showed promise also. Both these gals using my 9' 7/8 rod.
This is going to be an awesome Spring/Summer.
Should I get them full sized rods, or something shorter in the same weights? I'm kinda thinking, if they can use this rod setup, let'em roll with it.
Man That is absolutely awesome ! Fishin is one of the best family sports !
And IMHO , Even though the girls can cast that big FR. It will probably tire them pretty fast. I would think something more along the lines of a 4 Wt !

Keep em fishin ! Might just keep them out of trouble !
