Lure Fishing Fly Fishing Catch and Release Safety and Fishin' How To Cut and Clean Your Fish Fishing Terminology Fishing Links Camping and fishing go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, if you're planning your first fishing adventure with young children this summer while Camping then here are a few tips that I hope make everyone's experience last a lifetime. Some simple tips: First: Do keep it simple for starters, and that's your best bet for a fun day. HAVE FUN! Don't worry about technique and don't be concerned about catching lots of big, trophy-size fish. To a young angler, a small bluegill or crappie caught with a simple hook and bobber is a major achievement. For some children, a big fish might be scary. Many campgrounds are situated on lakes or ponds or at least have a local fishing hole nearby that holds panfish. http://www.angelfire.com/ia3/fishing/kidsnfishin.htm (1 of 7) [7/20/2004 10:13:52 AM] camping, kids and fishing Click Here!dits Terms Contact Us Other Websites made by Jon Anderson (Web Master of this site) FUNdamentals of Camping FUNdamentals of Little League Baseball (learn how to hit, pitch, field, etc. How to Coach, Parent info, Official Rules) Panfish are pretty much your garden-variety sunny-bluegill deal. These fish will eat nearly 24-7. A worm and bobber combination is about all you need. We'll get into specific equipment a little later. What you need to bring is a heap of patience, because kids have never even heard of the word. Don't force your child to fish for hours on end. Sometimes a child will be happy fishing for 15 minutes and then playing for an hour along the beach or woods, etc. A child cannot be expected to spend long hours sitting and holding a rod. As the adult you should also not plan to spend long hours paying attention to his or her rod without keeping an eye on the kids. Even so, there are ways to keep the children involved in fishing and enjoying the outdoors in general. One way to keep the tyke focused is to let him or her do as much as possible, keep them involved, explain the gear, the procedures, show them how things work...promise a special treat on the way back to camp or explain how you're going to show the folks back at the campsite how to cook fish. Another method is to fish for a very catchable species at a good time of year. Spring fishing for bluegill or crappie is a particularly good way to introduce children to fishing, because there can http://www.angelfire.com/ia3/fishing/kidsnfishin.htm (2 of 7) [7/20/2004 10:13:52 AM]
