#TakeAKidFishing it’s not a saying we throw around loosely. Doug, Rory, and I all have back grounds that are painted around pictures just as above. Carter Sturgis pictured above is fishing with his Dad is a great picture that represents memories we all have. It’s a great thing to see and also remember. Take kids fishing when they are young, get them involved in outdoors. In a world today that is overrun by technology it’s hard to get away from our computers, cell phones and our desks. Our waterways are polluted with great fishing and tons of species that will keep kids busy for hours. Email us here at RF if you are looking for spots take your little one fishing. We can direct you to spots that would reward a great day on the water with your son or daughter.

Keep It Fun!!
This is the biggest and most often overlooked aspect of kid fishing. Don’t make it just about fishing and catching fish. Take games, a football, books, etc, to keep the kids busy and having fun. If fishing is slow, let them throw rocks into the water! WHO CARES!!!?!?!?! If fishing is good, they will gladly stay waterside, and will never forget it.

PA Fishing Law – Taking a kid fishing
An adult who assists a child (12 years of age and under) by casting or retrieving a fishing line or fishing rod is not required to possess a valid fishing license provided that the child remains within arms’ reach of the assisting adult and is actively involved in the fishing activity.
An adult may assist a child by baiting hooks, removing fish from the line, netting fish, preparing the fishing rod for use, and untangling the line without possessing a valid fishing license. An adult is required to possess a fishing license if they intend to set the hook for the child.

The link below provides a list of areas they are exclusively for children 12 years of age and younger and persons who have certain physical or mental impairments. Go here for more information
