Some excellent advice above.
a few things to add:
- She won't care about the size of her first fish.
- She will care if she actually gets to touch one she caught on her first day out.
- no-one likes dealing with tangles.
So I'd basically suggest picking one of your favorite streams that opens on the 16th of June that doesn't have the biggest of water. Less water means that the places for fishes to hang out are much more visible to a non-fisher, and the fish that tend to inhibit the upper reaches of these streams aren't really very presentation-shy.
Rig her up with a single dry fly only, no dropper. Also, make sure to tie on the brightest and highest floating dry fly you have (stimulator always seems to be a favorite). Don't even bother with a dropper since those can make casting a bit of a pain for a first-timer and with thinner water most fish will be looking up anyway.
Also, make sure that you stop fishing when SHE is done for the day. A 4 hour day may seem like a short one for you, but chances are she may be thinking differently at the 2 hour mark.
