This what I am looking for Lew. My sister in-law is a spin fisher. We have tried to get her interested in fly fishing but, no good, she kept going back to her mepps.
I told her I was her guide this weekend, because in all the years she has fish D nothing. I started thinking however, that 20' leader and a newbie is not a good idea, so I put my specialty flies on her spinning outfit with a break away bobber. I then measured out 20 feet of line and marked it. I slid the indicator up to the 18 or 19' mark, showed her how the indicators work.
I did have to tell her to sit still, or not move more than needed. She got that then said, "This is boring" when BAM! Fish on! and a very nice one.
She is now hooked on flies....next is the rod and reel but the spinning outfit is good for now. 6 fish in about 2 hours. She isn't an offer anymore [cool]
