A beautiful afternoon on Green Lake (the long dock near the Aqua Theater) with my six-year old son. We threw the tacklebox at the lake and didn't catch a thing - not even a nibble. An older gentleman had been fishing the same dock since 11:00 AM, and all he had to show for his day was one small (8-9") brownie.

So why 5 stars then? Well, it was my son's first time fishing, and I got to be there with him. It took me back 35 years, to the first time my own dad and I fished together on Hayden Lake in Idaho - and if that ain't a 5-star outing, then I don't know what is!

Don't worry, he's got the bug bad; we'll be going out a lot more. In fact, we'll probably go out again this weekend. He's still a little young - his patience wears out after a couple of hours, and he's still learning how to cast - but once we get him catching some fish, I think he'll be even more excited about going out than he already is.

A couple hourS? My attention span back then was more like a couple minutes. You've taught him well.

Get him out a lot this summer when the panfish move shallow. He'll have a ton of fun catching those on worms.

It's not how many you catch, its the company you have. Glad to hear we have a new fisherman out there. Wait until he catches his first fish.
Now, Greenlake is a perfect lake for kids. Later this month they should have it LOADED with catchable trout. You will know when you see everybody fishing around the lake fishing.
If you use power bait.
Add a couple Maggots to the hook then add your Power bait, (make sure it floats) 4 to 5 fooot leader, and you be on the fish.
Let us know how it goes
