TEACHING SCENARIOS
Always set the parameters if the scenario is open ended. Always include questions you would ask the student before you start, as well as how you would verify the degree of casting skills.
Review the lesson plan format and adjust your lesson plan to the time you’ll have.
1. An angler calls you and says he/she has been fishing for “ a few years” and is planning a trip to the Bahamas next month. He/she would like a one-hour lesson.
2. A group of four friends would like to hire you for a two-hour lesson. They are going to rent a cabin on a trout stream in North Carolina for a week. One is “experienced”, one has “a little experience”, and two are novices.
3. The local YMCA would like for you to run a four-hour clinic for 15 people they have signed up. You have no idea what level of students will show up or what, if any, equipment they will have.
4. A husband and wife would like you to teach them “how to fly fish”. They have no experience, but are willing to spend one hour a week for a month. (The husband is the one who calls,)
5. An older gentleman calls you and would like to become a CI. He has been fishing for 25 years, is now retired, and is looking for a challenge.
6. A Dad calls you and says he’d like you to teach his son to fly fish so he can have a partner. His son is 12 years old. He would like a two hour lesson.
7. A Boy Scout Troop wants you to “teach the boys to fly fish so they can earn their merit badge”.
8. The local fly club wants you to run a clinic for its members. They have 27 interested people. You have four hours on a Saturday morning.
Those are all scenarios I have personally faced! Start at the top and work your way down. Have fun!
