Zach,
I’ve enjoyed reading hers, as well as Crystal’s posts. I have tried a couple of times to pique my wife’s interest in fly fishing. I’ve tried to teach her casting–didn’t go too well, bought her a couple of hours of one-on-one instruction with an FFF certified instructor–never scheduled a time. A couple of years ago we shopped together and she picked out and purchased womens’ waders, boots, rod, reel, and pack and used them for less than two hours on a trip to CO.
Now I’m working on our daughters. The oldest turned seven last September, and to my surprise she knows exactly what to do without any instruction whatsoever. Strangely enough, I’m not always certain she knows how to turn eight.
I haven’t listened to the pod cast yet. It is downloaded, but haven’t listened to much of anything lately.
