For the small mouths nothing is more fun than popper flies on the surface in still water. With a kid setup you would just attach a casting bubble to the line to give it enough weight to cast. You make a very short quick retrieve to pop the face of the fly on the surface and create a disturbance. Wait for the wave rings to die before the next retrieve. Fantastic surface action for bass and bluegill, if he doesn't get too tired casting. Man I miss it.
Oh and of course bring your fly rod to do the same without the bubble!
