become much happier and efficient with their fly casting skills. Would you go to the hairdresser to get your teeth pulled

Fly Fishing is a pleasurable activity even though to the beginner it all seems overwhelmingly difficult and to cast a
weightless fly 50 - 100ft through the air looks like an impossible feat. The world of Fly fishing is a fascinating one, let
me help guide you through it by teaching you about trout, entomology, basic casting, knots, fly-tying and leader
construction. If you are no longer a beginner and have mastered all the basic casts then let me teach you some advanced
fly-casting…like how to double haul-for those distance casts!

"Stuart - I would like to thank you to introducing this very interesting sport to me. The
beginner’s course was very interesting as well as effective from my point of view. Keeping the group small made a huge
contribution for me as a beginner wanting to learn, with you being able to concentrate more on one to one tuition, as well
as being informative. The time frame to the course was very good, but an extra few hours on how to land fish would be
better!!! Ha Ha !!
Overall, I strongly think that the course is very good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone who would be
interested in getting into the sport, as by way of an introduction. Once again thanks and I hope to meet you on a lake or
river one day."
Thanks, Jason.
