Neil and I were fishing a little Trout lake yesterday.
After lunch (well a couple of beers to be honest at the local pub) we got back to the lake and it was so good to see 3 'Dads' together with their daughters, all between about 6 and 10, out for a fishing trip.
I've seen a fair few children on trout lakes over the last year or so, but rarely can remember seeing youngsters fishing with Dad on coarse venues.
Years ago it was common place, but today it is a rare occurance - sadly.
So, why do we not attract young kids to the sport these days?
To many 'other' attractions for them?
