Hey Chuck,
I hear ya! I have a 7 year old son for whom I bought his first fly rod last summer. I got him a 7ft 3wt from cabelas and we've been having a blast. He caught his first rainbow on the lower Yuba right near the bridge.
Last August I took my first trip to Montana for my 40th birthday and the entire time I was there, I was wishing that I had brought him along, too. So I promised him I'd take him for his 10th birthday.
Depending on where you go, I can highly recommend a fly shop and guide in Montana. As you make plans, let me know if I can be of any help.
May you and your new fishing buddy build memories that will last a lifetime!
Dave
