Went fishing today with the lady and her son,14 teen(Bud for the sake of brevity). Took them to the river I just recently caught my first trout on hoping bud could finally catch a trout or even his first fish. Well a few casts and I got a lil rainbow, a few more casts and the lady caught a rainbow, then a bit later another. Bud still didn’t catch anything and I even gave him the same baits the lady and I were using. So the question is, besides patience, what can I do or say to help Bud finally land his first fish? He’s getting dismayed but I know he likes hanging with us fishing at the same time.
Info: PNW area, Willamette zone and out towards the northwest zone.
Reel: He’s using a zen o spin cast 10lb mono. Trying to get him used to casting then work up.
Lures: rooster tails, rapalas, trout bait-green, orange, and pink orange.
Thanks I’m advance.
