h owever
, you should prepare to keep safe and comfortable in the outdoors .
It is possible to get caught unexpectedly in bad weather , encounter insects , spend too much time in the sun , or get caught on a fish hook .
Kids are adventurous , rambunctious , curious and fun loving . The result is that they naturally love the outdoors , but also have greater exposure to the dangers of the wilderness than the average adult .
Most kids don ' t have the patience for fishing that many seasoned adult anglers possess .
But with a little planning , preparation and patience on the adult ' s part , a fishing trip with kids can be safe and fun .
Safety must be the number one concern an adult has for children who are learning to fish and to enjoy the outdoors .
