Shouldn't be that  hard, it only takes a few inches of motion? Try starting left handed with a roll cast?

I think that I've always switched hands, bat, axe, pickax, guns, etc.; but I've read that others claim it's easier to learn casting correctly with the weak hand because you don't have the ingrained mistakes/muscle memory to unlearn.

Had her keep her left arm close to her body-similar to having a book under her arm next to her upper torso. I practice casting left handed from time to time and can get some line out. She thinks its easier for me because I was always a left handed hitter in baseball.

Advice that I've seen on learning with the non-dominate hand, have included starting with a Belgian cast and starting by holding a rod in each hand with ~30' of line out each and casting them simultaneously, the idea of the two rods being that the one hand mirrors the action of the other. This can actually be practiced by going through the casting motion with both hands and no rods.  I'd suggest working with a constant line length on the start as line handling with my dominate hand causes me more trouble than rod handling with my non-dominate hand does. The book stuff has never appealed to me because it only ever works for a particular body type. Unless you use a really thick book like the unabridged dictionary for one person and a Reader's Digest for another. To me it's better to concentrate on the rod tip and to recognize that where the tip goes is where the line goes.

I think the best medicine for tennis elbow, or other forms of tendonitis, is rest. More than you think you need. 

As far as fly casting, I have learned it pays to de-emphasize power and focus on timing and rhythm. Perfecting that will get you control, accuracy and distance without wearing out your elbow or shoulder.
