Mentoring for GAIA

I am an official mentor for GAIA, the Game Angling Instructor's Association and am currently helping about 12 guys to become fully qualified instructors.
Yesterday I had 1 to 1 sessions with 2 of them.  First up was Peter from Slaidburn and then Steve from Runcorn. We concentrated on roll casts and Spey casts during both lessons.

Good sessions, it's great to be working with guys who are eager and keen to learn and improve. Both of them are well on track for their assessments in November.

I am on the committee at GAIA and we are the largest and oldest organisation representing Instructor's for all over Britian and Ireland.

Hi All
Had a great lesson with a Mike and his 10 year old son Tom from Bolton, today.
Very keen and enthuiastic but hard fishing with a very unseasonal chill westerly.
Both used the roll cast predominantly because of the difficult casting conditions.
