I try to get my 9 year old daughter into fishing but her patience disappears quickly. I think most young people don't see the true joys of fishing, at least to me, and that is the pleasure to be out on a beach or boat and to be far away from the thoughts and realities of the rigors, or mundaneness, of everyday life and work. Until they experience the joys of the 9 to 5 life style ahead of them will they learn to really enjoy the pleasures of fishing. Once they enjoy the thrill of getting away from the rat race then they will enjoy more the nuances of the hunt and the techniques involved in being proficient at this great pastime. On the other hand some kids take to it like a duck to water but I think they are the minority. All you can do is invite them and hope they see the light, can't force feed anything to a kid. P.
