KIDS FLY FISHING ADVENTURE (trout fishing)

"You Made the Cast. You Set the Hook. You did Everything All By Yourself. I'm Proud of You." Parenting at its finest. Well done, Huge Dad!

the KidCam at the end was pretty nice. "do you think i'm ever gonna catch anything?" - every dry fly fisher, ever

"Fish or throw rocks" "THROW ROCKS!" This is the best.

Dad’s going to have a juice box! 😂😂😂

Could not be a more accurate video of fishing with two boys. Very happy this wasn't edited to seem like some story book, scripted video. The frustration is what really makes it all worth it. This is real, and this is awesome.

Sad that these kids know how to handle trout better than 70% of people who fish

Didn't you know that reels only start working right after being dragged through the sand.....loosens them up;-)

Sunscreen for documentation. HAHA Don't forget the bug spray too. I hear that ALL the time.

Hey Ben, I love this video. I never have had a real relationship with my dad, seeing this makes me happy for your boys and the memories they’ll have with you. Good on you man.

two young men who will grow to be great men themselves and carry on the tradition. i did the same with mine and now my grandaughters. best times

I wish you had made it an hour long... I would've happily watched every minute of it! So fun to watch them learn and enjoy it. That's some serious quality time for all of you!

I always question if I want to have kids, but then I see videos like this and it makes me realize how awesome it would be to have a few and have experiences like this. Props to you for getting them outside, so many kids nowadays are only raised in front of screens.

You're such a good dad. I smiled for nearly 18 minutes. Awesome. What a great life you give your kids. 👍

Ben sets the dad parenting bar impossibly high

My kids are this age plus 40. Sadly, I took 40 years off from fly fishing as I had never been successful at it myself as a teen. But I did do a lot of outdoor stuff with my kids. Camping, hiking, boating, sailing, skiing. I am now working with my grand kids to make sure they have fun and succeed at fishing. Ultimately though, kids personalities are different and some will get "hooked" and some won't. But you are giving them that option which is great. The little spot and stream you have here is perfect. Tons of opportunity and positive reinforcement. Good job dad!

Well done DAD. Kids need the outdoors. I did like "you can either throw rocks or you can fish, but not both".

You have no idea how happy it makes me to see young men learn manliness from their father. So rare in this world. I toast you with this beer sir, well done.

I taught kids for a short time, and the most important thing I tried to teach them was, NO FLY FISHING without eye protection - at all.!!!!! Nice to see, that you don't seem to let them do it either.. After watching the rest of the video - thumbs up for your way of interacting with the kids - many grown ups dominate the fun out of what ever the are trying to teach and "sell" to them. When I "was a teacher", I used to ask the kid, what fish he/she wanted to catch, and then told them to pick a fly in a book, that was designed for that fish, and then guide and show them (never tied on their fly - so the finnished fly was 100% their choice and work) through the whole first fly of their lives. And I never ended up with one of them tieing a fly, that wasn't actually "flawless". If you explain well enough, their eger brains and small fingers can do "anything" you can. I actually miss "my kids" right now.. B)

Great video. Love to see a dad sharing his love of outdoors with his children!

What an awesome video!!!! You're a great dad and you did such a great job teaching them how to respect the fish! HUGE respect to you!!!
