Growing up my dad bought me my first fishing rod and reel, bait hooks, cast and catch fish. My parents came to visit us at Christmas and I was tying flys and my dad said he'd like to learn so I got the chance to teach him. I also bought him his first fly rod and taught him to cast. This weekend I got to take my dad out and be with him when he caught his first fish on a fly rod with a fly he tied.
