Today, for example, was a day for my son to do the teaching. During his time at Boy Scout camp, Jacob learned how to fly fish. Yesterday, he and my husband went to buy him a fly fishing starter kit with a gift card that my son had received. Jacob practiced his casting for a bit and then my husband wanted to try so Jacob started teaching him. It was a great sight to see, the two of them working together. We had planned on going for just an half an hour, but ended up there for two or more. It was peaceful and quiet. We had time to just chat.
When Jacob gave up the rod to George, Jacob warned him not to flick his wrist and crack the line. Jacob did a wonderful job showing how to move the rod with his full upper arm. George tried, but Jacob had to remind him again. No sooner was the warning out of his mouth, then crack, crack, the fly was gone. Jacob helped his father tie on a new one.
It was a wonderful day of learning and a successful day at that, the men caught two fish. I figure later in the week, I will take him to a stream to practice more.
