Teaching my 7 year old son to fish.... HELP!
I am planning on a overnight camping trip today with my son who is 7 and I want to teach him to fish. I would like to find a place with good shore fishing within an hour or so of Edmonton, somewhere with a good chance of him getting a fish. I'm afraid that if I take him somewhere and we don't catch something he might not want to go out again with me. If anyone has an ideas of a good place i would really appreciate the help!

Google stocked trout ponds around edmonton, you'll be able to catch and keep some quality fish, and getting a good trout on and watching his face light up when it clears a foot and a half above the water will get both you and him hooked for life...
chickacoo, saur, star, beumont pond, leduc res, all come to mind
idk about camping though, you'd have to do a bit of research

Have fun planned.
Best bet is to make a fun day he will remember , fish or no fish. My 3 kids love to go, but they have low attention spans, so we pack heavy. Books, games, whatever he likes to do. Best way to get him out again is have fun.
Good luck

Agreed. If he gets bored of fishing, don't insist that he keep on fishing...that's a sure way to make it not fun for a young one.
