I can tell you what NOT to do ...
I don't know what you know about fishing but when my boy was about 6 or 7 he thought he wanted to go fishing. All the other boys went fishing with their Dads I guess and he felt left out. I was divorced and his dad rare did much with him. Well I never fished with a pole as a kid just sharpened sticks and stick with line I found tangled in the rocks on the near by river.
Well I went to the local sports shop and I think the hook and line must have still been hanging out the side of my mouth because ...
I asked the man what I needed to take my boy fishing. I wanted a real fishing pole and tackle box full of fishing stuff just for my boy and one for me!
Well about $100 later (this was in 1984) ... we had 2 of everything, went to town and I got a licence for $20 and off we went to the local fishing pond.
I watched some guy put his stuff all together and did pretty much the same and it worked. We caught a fish and it bled and my boy was horrified!
"Mom stop - we're were going to kill it." He yelled
I said "Well yeah Ed we're were going to fry it up and eat it."
He said:
"I only eat fish that come in triangles! I want to go home!
That was the last time he ever went fishing ...
