I've got a couple children (teens now) who like fishing and one who doesn't. My youngest son loves it, my daughter is good for 3-4 trips a year, my older son comes along and doesn't complain too much, but wishes he could stay at home. (He can when appropriate supervision is available, not always possible for a week long trip.)
When you can, just leave the kid with his momma or a relative if he doesn't want to go fishing. I think he'll look back with fond memories, and if he doesn't take his own kids fishing, he'll bring them to you to do it. What more can you ask for?
