We took our grandson to the Lake to introduce him to fishing. We had plenty of gear and went to K-Mart to buy a fishing license. In this state you don’t need a fishing license if you are 8 years old or younger. The license for adults is not very expensive, either, and the fees go toward wildlife preservation, so I don’t mind contributing.

Kids with ADD or ADHD probably don’t do well with sports like fishing. Our grandson had a hard time standing on shore with the pole in his hands. Thankfully he had nibbles from fishing quite often and caught 4 fish within an hour. So that kept his attention for the most part. But after that first hour he was ready to move on to other activities, like floating a little plastic boat in the shallow water and digging in the mud.
