They have a new appreciation for what I did for them for 3 days.

I was the same way. My first time fly fishing my buddy polled me all day and it looked easy so I thought "pfft I got that "
Started spinning in circles. I got the hang of it after about a hour but still had the occasional miss step.

It's like casting a fly rod, swinging a golf club or anything else, not really all that difficult, just requires a little practice. It's good to see new folks getting into fly fishing. To me there's no form of fishing more exciting than sight casting on the flats.
