To teach a child to love fishing

[TurbineBlade]

All you folks out there with young ones -- any pointers on how to do this as effectively and quickly as possible?  Age to start?  Dos and Do not dos?  Anything --

For the sake of example, let's say that this particular father is of a Midwestern, somewhat conservative, extremely authoritarian disposition who believes that "silence is golden" doesn't only apply to movie theaters. 

Thank you for helping with this research effort!

Take them where the children will catch fish. Age age 5.  There ain't no way around it, TB:  Expect noise: "Eww! Slimy!" "That's gross, Daddy!" Plus, I have no way to transliterate this, but those of you who've had young daughters who run in packs with their little friends, you've probably heard that alarming, painful, high pitched squeal nearing the frequencies of caniine hearing when they encounter a particularly gruesome insect, dead animal or other creepy fauna. I think the " somewhat conservative, extremely authoritarian" father ought to delegate fishing with the kids to Mom and go to the movie theatre. ;-)

I was fishing ever since I can remember, however I have the attention span of a gnat, and it was worse when I was a small child.

my dad would bribe me with donuts (dunkin donuts incase you were wondering) then we would head out to the local golf course pond. he would show me what to do then just kind of leave me alone with my snoopy rod, and watch until I looked frustrated then he would come help. then when I lost interest I would go play in the sand trap and build sand castles. when dad was done fishing he would come rake the sand trap and we would go home. eating the left over donuts on the way home so my sisters didn't get any.  some of my favorite times as a child.

Last year I took my 4 year old granddaughter fishing at Burke Lake in my canoe. She had a little spinning rod. I added a small bobber, a weight and Adam Juan worm. She had a blast...mostly the canoeing part.

She'll open my beer too. And she'll know as much about bait fishing as she will Episode I of Star Wars.
