Good luck, be gentle to those who refuse to listen to you, and ALWAYS wear protective eye glasses. The last newbee I tried to teach was a 13 year old boy with learning difficulties. Without letting me know, he decided to walk over and cast over towards where I was fishing. On starting his backcast, his fly came over the rim of my Tilley hat smacked me right on my eyeglass lense. Startled the crap out of me. Teaching newbees can be loads of fun, but it can also quickly become combat fishing. Best of luck with your new job.
