Best info you received as a new flyfisher??????

[JohnScott]

What are the basics that ... you learned by trial and error? What should we cover?

I got a lot of good information from a bunch of folks along the way, but most of what I actually learned was by trial and error. I summarized that, as still a relatively new fly angler, in a Reader's Cast article in February 2012 titled "Three Teas For Trout." To find the article, go to the Articles on the home page menu, go to "Reader's Cast" and then scroll down to 2-13-12.

Briefly, the article covers the three teas - timing, tackle and technique, further described as - fish where they is, not where they ain't; feed them off their menu, not yours; and serve them off a silver platter, not a tv tray. The three teas are still the basis of discussions I have with the beginning anglers that I run into.

All the best to you as you introduce new anglers to fly angling.
