Theres nothing wrong with teaching her in a river.
I've taught many people, including an 8month pregnant lady.
Teach them the roll cast first, then the regular casting techniques.
All fly fishers need to know these casting techniques.... and the roll cast gets them to understand the weight dynamics at play when using a fly line.
They'll also have a greater chance of catching fish faster.
I strongly recommend teaching roll cast with a bugger, get em into fish.. then get them into dryfly fanciness..
Take em to the Bow. Get her hooked!
