Had a great time fishing with my 5 year old daughter Olivia in a valley creek this afternoon. These were her first fish on a fly. #10 bead head Crystal Bugger. The fish were very cooperative!

Olivia bent on a surging Hardhead:

Those pictures are priceless, I love the first one. Awesome technique, you must have taught her that.

Matt,

Cherish these moments and reflect on them often. My little girl is twenty-eight now and I still see her like she was five turning over rocks in tide pools and playing with salamanders,,, gee, they grow up soo fast :)

Thanks for the post appreciation everyone. I am real happy with the first photo of Olivia fighting the fish. She was yelling: "Daddy, HELP!!" the whole time. It was a crack up. Those Hardheads can be pretty hot. Matt.

What I like the most is that she is a wet wader, that is so cool that she is willing to stand in the water and catch fish.

Adorable photos. If you closely at #1... the line is wrapped around the rod below the stripper guide... surely made for some extra bendo...

Photo #2 gets cute fisher-girl of the year award.

Way to go pops~!

I always have my funnest times on the water with my daughters. Seeing them hook up is better then hooking up myself.

....Excellent photos. I hope it is appropriate to post this website here on Mr.Kiene's board. I have no intrest in this other than to help children get more involved in a family sport that I think all on this board truely enjoy.

Fishykid.org is having a coloring book contest w/prizes. It is worth a look.

Moderators Pls. delete this post if I have been out of bounds. Thanks. WB
