Any Teenagers Fly Fish?

[onthefly7]

With the blue ribbon bow so close, I was wondering if fly fishing was a major pastime for teens in Calgary. In Houston, there were probably 3 people in the city who fly fished, so I was just curious if it is different here.

 

thanks for the feedback

There's only a handful of us that I know of. It's definitely not a pastime for Calgary's youth.

i know of a handful, mostly kids of friends and there are a few through the H&H club, but not a lot.

Depressing isn't it. I just realized I'm 21

Poor baby Tako..... depressing wish I could be 21 again and make all the same fun/immoral mistakes I made back then, that made me the slightly twisted humanbeing that I am today.

Daughter is turning 20 and has fished since she was 9. Son, 16, does it when we go on a family outing and he has no choice.

My 15 yr old son goes several times a year.

We force our 14 year old to do it. That counts.

My now 13 year old got us started fly fishing when he was 9. He loves it and we go out almost every weekend. Our family vacations are now planned around where we will fish and what we will fish for. Now if only I could get the 17 year old back into fishing--according to him, he is retired, and we never keep any of the fish so what is the point . Oh well, that means 4 to hike, 2 to fish, and 2 to read, everyone is happy!

I knew I should have sent you a message when I was in Sundre Nice town, BTW. Liked it there.

When I get a fly rod in my hands I feel Like a kid again. Does that count?

Sorry she is engaged to a dirt bike racer who does not like to fish. He is being forced to come to the Livingstone this summer and be taught how to fly fish by my daughter. Things we do for love...

I wouldnt say theres a huge number, but there are a decent number of people under say their mid 20's that do.

[northfork]

17 now. Fishing since I was 4. Started flyfishing when I was 15. Sure is hard to find others my age interested in it. Oh well, more water for me!

you couldnt pay me enough to be 21 again. God that was the worst. shitty jobs and didnt get paid by either one, working 6 or 7 days a week, got married

 

i'm much happier in my aged 32

 

i started fishing when i was 4 or so and fly fishing at 13 or 14 when physically forced to by my parents. kind of like Lynn with hers... there's hope yet Lynn

I remember dragging my fishing gear every where my family went until I noticed girls. Got back into it a little after high school. I think it`s great that so many teenagers are into ffishing anf on here.

Do yourself a favour. Sell the vice and take up smoking crack. A lot cheaper and a lot less addictive.
