Tough question - 8 yr old son

Plenty of options around for you... north branch is not bad but need to wade most spots... south branch you can always find some trout all year long up all up and down the river. I have a great little creek that doesn’t get a lot of pressure and you get away from the crowds that I’m thinking would be perfect for you and the boy. If you need some good spots and not to familiar shoot me a pm I give you a couple good holes he will be sure to get into some fish, good luck guys
