I tend to get a little bit of cabin fever before winter is over and I start to itch for my fishing rods.
That first day out is like being released from prison. Well not that I have been released from prison but for winter keeps me inside so I feel like I am in prison.
Usually my first trips out are for brook trout. My wife and I love a good feed of brook trout in the early season before the water warms up.
I was introduced to fishing by a foster brother when I was eight and didn't think I had much to look forward to in life. He showed me that there is more to life than all that negative stuff we have to put up with in our daily lives.
I took my son brook trout fishing when he was about 6 or 8 and we made it a lot of fun with more than just fishing. Kids tend to have short attention spans and making them fish too long can have lasing negative effect.
What are your fishing experience?

I think my son would have to agree with you on the getting out and fishing.
Yesterday he came up to me and said on payday he was going to go renew his hunting and fishing liscense...
Then he goes...I see you moved the poles.
I had put them up HIGH in the garage just two days before this conversation.
So that means he is ready and was looking to get them ready!
Glad everyone can have that open feeling of going fishing... personally I like to take my kids... but I don't per se like to fish!

When I first tried taking my wife fishing with me everything went wrong that could and to this day she is glad to go fishing with me if I have a boat, but other than that she won't go. And I didn't plan it that way either.
I can relate with your son. As soon as I feel that winter sun getting brighter around the end of February I tend to start looking through my fishing gear to what I need to buy for the new year of fishing.
