Always great for a father to get time alone with a singular child. I have a son and daughter, and both like to fish. My son is older and loves to fish - will keep his concentration all day even if the bite is slow. Daughter is now 13 and still enjoys fishing to a point. She really can only take it for an hour or two at a time and then finds other things to play with and study. Started her out at about 3 also and take her brim fishing a couple of times a year. It is never going to be her thing, but she does look forward to going when we do. Started her out on the little spin cast rods and when she was five or six I switched her over to spinning.
