I have a 6 yo daughter and a 4 yo son. They are BOTH my fishing buddies. My daughter was hooked at 2 yo, likewise my son was at 2 also. I started both at the little state stocked kids only ponds. Good start and easy fishing. Now that they're a little older they go in my sled and drift with me in my cat. They've caught quite a few trout (my son caught a 5lb trout just a couple weeks ago) but not any salmon/steelhead yet. I've found when I'm fishing in the boats, I bring things to keep them busy, and fun foods to eat. That way if they start getting bored I keep them busy with something else. I found if you push, they push away, so I let them beg to fish (they always want to go). I'm glad they got the fishing bug from me. My ex was always complaining about me fishing, now it drives her nuts that my kids always want to go (luckily I have custody of my kids so I always have a fishing buddy when needbe).
