Young kid learning fly-fishing

Please give the guy who started this thread an answer to his question, Where to take a kid shoreline fishing. Not what to do or how to do it.

You first. No, It would help if he could be more specific than pittsburgh. I live in Greensburg and another member lives in Beaver County, on on Monessen and another in Butler. Lots of area. The easy answer is any county park with a pond or creek in it.

Hoping to maybe get some thoughts here. A work colleague of mine who knows I fly fish said his 8 year old son is interested in learning and asked if I would help and take them fishing somewhere. While I’m not a great fly-fisherman, I’m happy to show him some basics and get them started.

However, I’d really like to get them into some “easy fishing” such as fishing some poppers or wet flies for panfish. I live in Pittsburgh but never fish around here. Does anyone know of any good shoreline panfish spots or if there are any pay ponds what would be good just so his son might get into some fish somewhat easily?

Appreciate any thoughts from you western PA guys!

Take worms, bobber and zebco. Take fly rod and poppers. Let the kid decide not people on here. Help him with the fly rod if this is his first time and keep it simple.
