Our 7-year-old daughter, Lyla Blue, has been on the water her entire life. In fact, she spent quite a bit of time wading while still in utero.
Summer, her mom, and I have been fly fishing for decades. The passion we both share for the water was obviously passed on to Little Blue. You will find our family on the water from March to November and you will find me there—with a camera in my hands—nearly every day of the year.
Lyla has been catching and releasing fish since she was 3. The day I brought her home a pair of waders I saw the light go on, and she has been game ever since. Lyla has a pink fly rod with a pink line and a box of pink flies that goes everywhere with us. She is just starting to cast on her own and learning the rhythm of the water. READ STORY
