those are cool, my daughter has that bathing suit, why is it that we dont wear bathing suits when we fish but we put our kids in them?
Did she have any issue casting that big rod?

Did she have any issue casting that big rod? I wore my swim trunks instead of the waders and it was not to bad. The rod was a #4 7'6" White River set up. She could cast it real good. There where a few cast that looked like a pro. She has fished with a spinning reel for a while. For now we just set it with about 10' of line and then just let her fling it back and forth. Worked good I think for the first time. Another thing that was nice is when she got a little bored she would wade and play in the water and then go back to fishing.

wow, usually cell phone pics stink...your's were great...I am going to be looking for a new decent camera this December...for my birthday...I bought a camera that just doesn't take a good pic of a fly...and my daughter's camera doesn't either. I want something that takes good macro shots, with anti-shake. I got a Nikon digital camera...and my daughter has a Samsung. Neither take a decent macro shot. I could of messed around with her camera a little more, and maybe it would of done better. Her camera was more expensive then mine was. For regular outdoor shots my camera works fine. Anyway I have to get something better so I can get some decent fly pics in the future.
