I have a couple very young children and am planning to take them fishing come springtime but need advise on the best places to take them. I want them to have fun and at the same time not have to chase the youngest into the water and mud every 5 seconds. I am thinking somewhere remote so I don't tick off other anglers (as my kids will undoubtedly scare off anything worth a cast).
I am also planning to take up fly fishing but from what I understand it takes lots of time to learn and considerably more to master. I plan to live for roughly 90 or more years so the mastering part doesn't concern me as much as the learning. Any help here would be appreciated.

we have great fishing here in Missouri I can show you where to fly fish for rainbow trout in the mourning and take the little ones to catch blue gill in the after noon. Depending on where you want to stay there are plenty of reasonable motels with kitchenettes, RV camp grounds or primitive camp sites. As far as mastering Fly Fishing, I have been Fly fishing for more than 40 years and it is hit and miss, no guarantees, but I can teach you all the basics you have to get your on rhythm and form, March to oct. I try to take a 3 day weekend once a month and almost always catch my limit of Trout. On my profile the pic. of me is holding my first speceld(or brown) trout after 40 years of trout fishing(kinda hard to catch). Let me know when you want to go or let me know where you want to go and I will get you some info for the area.
Missouri is a little further than I think I'll get to this spring, I am thinking somewhere in Southern ID/Northern UT. I have a 4 year old and 18 month old. The 4 yr old I can keep in check but the baby has me running so much I was thinking a nice quite lake with lots of shoreline.
Fly fishing might have to wait a while but I really do want to take it up.
