On a crisp autumn morning, Papa and child gather their fishing vests and head to the river for a day of adventure. Along the way, they learn about tying flies, observing nature, casting, fishing responsibly, and appreciating the river and the life it supports.
Written by Familius founder and fly fisherman Christopher Robbins, Fly Fishing with Papa celebrates the traditions and knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Its message of conservation, family connection, and shared experiences makes it especially meaningful for families who love fishing and the outdoors.
Soft watercolor illustrations by Yukari Mishima bring the river and its surroundings to life, giving each page the warm, nostalgic feeling of a treasured day spent fishing with someone you love.
A thoughtful gift for fathers, grandfathers, young anglers, and outdoor-loving families, Fly Fishing with Papa is a wonderful way to introduce the next generation to the joy of fly fishing and the importance of caring for the places we fish.
“A gentle demonstration of a close relationship between adult and child—and the passing of knowledge from one generation to another. Captures the magic of nature.”
