Good topic. My 5 year old son seems to dig fishing so far. The first couple times out I explained what we were going to do. He seemed interested and very willing.

With regard to anything we do together now, he will typically prompt the activity whether its fishing, golf, batting practice, or archery. I actually bought him a bow for his 5th birthday and he loves the thing. Usually when I pick him up at school or get home from work on weekend mornings he's got the itinerary in hand already... I simply go along with it and don't set any expectations. It seems to be going well so far as he's taking to a lot of the stuff I liked at the same age with little persuasion from me.
On a related note, he's tried on my wetsuit a few times and wants his own now...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
