Im also lucky that my wife likes fishing. she is more for pinks, sockeye than anything else but did join me a lot before our boys were born. I did make the mistake of bringing her steelheading (after giving her fair warning of what was involved) which sort of helped turn her away from fishing because she likes to stay rooted in her spot for the day or move maybe twice to find fish. When it comes to my boys though they seem to have the obsession, my oldest has already told us he just wants to fish his whole life, seemed super excited when I told him he can get a job doing exactly that
my youngest is always glued to me when im watching fishing stuff so even though he hasn't actually caught any himself I see potential............less than 2 weeks though and he will be getting his first ever
I wish my old laptop hadn't crashed losing all my pics. I had an awesome photo of my wife catching her very first Chinook and the look on her face when it took its initial blistering run was priceless, the pics after were of strain watching her battle the beast and then the final pic was the first spewing juice while she held it for the pic LoL (fish was even pretty chrome too so not sure why it was doing that)
1son - waders are not needed but remember this is glacial fed so it can be pretty F-ing cold so if having frozen feet bugs you then wear waders. I personally wear socks and wading boots but have also rocked just sandals many times.............yes even at 5am !
HOOK - thinks he needs to get his wife into some pinks to get her back interested and then into some Chinook to really get her back into it
