Both my seven year old, and my four year old love to tie flies with me. It's a great way to introduce them to the sport, and a great opportunity to spend time with my awesome kids. After each time tying they have something they helped to create to put in their own fly boxes. This is special for both them and me. As Ruby teaches in this video, it doesn't matter what the fly looks like, the most important part is having fun! I think my little Ruby is going to be a steelheader, she always picks bright and exciting color, usually purple and pink. The flies we create together are fishy enough for steelhead, and pretty enough for a princess. If you have kids I highly recommend you let them join you at the vise. They might surprise you with what they come up with, and the time spent together will be cherished forever.
