Hey Jed,

I have only in part have ever taught fly fishing to one person. My brother. I am in part self taught.

That said I have taught, or coached as it were, football and baseball to the senior high school level and the hardest thing for me to do was to evaluate talent. Once you find what kind of talent a person has you have to teach within that person?s ability.

Make sense? Not everyone that wants to play or do something will be an ?A? player it dose not matter how long they practice it?s not in their ability. So you as a teacher would be spinning your wheels to teach them ?A? player techniques. But you can make a person a top notch player in their own ability.

But everyone starts out with this is a ball. This is how we hold the ball??.. If you have the blank look at this point it?s gonna be a long day.
