Took my 5yr old out to the nisqually river in WA state (where I used to be stationed) we were running 15lb test on a 20lb leader with the normal "salmon rig" (black and red yarn) drifting the river. She managed to pull in 2 that were 10+ and helped dad bring in the 34lb king (sadly it was a bit dark so had to smoke it). I am really excited to take her fishing up here in Alaska and let her really do some "real fishing". She already laughs about the small pan fish and wants to go for the big salmon (King fish) as she calls them lol.
