Continuing on the discussion, the real challenge is to try to appeal to audiences with mixed experience levels.

I do remember, however, a terrific podcast I heard- it was an interview with Norm Albiston, who is a professor of fly fishing at a university out west (the name escapes me), that did an excellent job of delivering something for everyone. The podcast laid out his basic approach to teaching fishing, which was to break down fishing into what he called "The Five Things You Can Change" when fishing, which were: 1) the depth you fish at; 2) the movement or lack thereof that you impart to the lure or bait; 3) the kind of lure you choose; 4) the location you have selected to fish at; and 5) the time that you choose to fish at, whether that be time of year or time of day or night.

In addition, he broke down his discussion of "location" into what he called "The Three C's" those being: a) current; b) cover; and c) cusine.

It was an excellent example of how to deliver a lecture that was both sophisticated and simple at the same time- and it provides a good insight into how one particular expert angler approaches the water.
