New to site, I've been a fly fisherman for years but now I need to fish with a 4 year old grandson. Looking for info for this new phase of my fishing.
Welcome !! This is the place for information.
I suggest a light short pole, open face spinning reel, some worms and a location with blue gill, croppie and such.
Good luck and let the funn begin.

Good luck 56, it’s all fun and games Now😁 I would suggest a closed face, push button casting reel. I used that on most of my grandkids, and I have 13 of them. Short rod, a bobber, worm hooks, and like said already,find a blue gill or crappie spot and have fun. A sinker and worm on a hook, will find a catfish also. Ck with ODFW in your area and see if they have any suggestions as well. Send us some pics when the little guy lands the first ones!🐳
Sounds like a good start. I was going for crappie and bass. Bluegill would fill the bill as well.
Thanks

I see you live in Eugene. There are lakes stocked with trout in the area like Cottage Grove and Dexter Reservoir. Either worms or power bait would work. I would get him a small spinning rod combination from Walmart. Don't get the Zebco push button real they get tangled too much and are hard to get the bird's nest out of.
