A co worker and I are going to take his 7 year old son to Dry Run creek.  I fished it as a kid back 20 years ago and had so much fun, I remember being disappointed when I had a birthday and was too old to fish the creek.  My question is, his son hasn't fished much before.  If we need to do some casting instruction with him (while we are both holding the rod) is that permitted?  I would NEVER hold a rod with bait in the water and the kid not also holding the pole.  Just curious what level of teaching is allowed as I hear they are ok with on water teaching and instruction but the kid needs to be doing the fishing/hooking/fighting of the fish which we plan to do.  We just may need to help him flop his cast back upstream at the start while he gets the hang of it while he holds the rod also.  Luckily the creek is small and doesn't require much casting skill.  I just dont want to get a ticket because I am touching the rod and helping the kid but doing none of the actual fishing/catching.   Anyone have any experiences with that?  I cant imagine them getting on to you for helping teach a kid but I am sure some parents think "teaching" means they fish and hand the rod to the kid when they hook one, that will not be what we are doing.

No agent in their right mind would ticket you for working with a kid.  I worked with my younger handicapped brother there and we were totally fine for a couple hours.  Biggest problem was me not wanting to hand off the rod once I had a lunker hooked.😆😆
