After a few sessions in the ditch, and they'll be talking like sailors
There's the noteable accomplishments like landing your first keeper of the season, or first 30, 40 or 50lber.
Then there are the more personal accomplishments like catching a trout or striper on a flie you tied yourself.
I bask in the glory of catching anything, or watching a newbie hook into thier first keeper. I get as much joy out of helping others enjoy fishing as I do actually fishing myself.
The key is to get out there and wet a line, everything else will come in it's own time and place.
