Had 2 great lessons today the first with my mentoring group who are all training for Instructor qualifications. The content of this lesson with them was teaching techniques and I enlisted the help of Frank a pal of mine, to act as a client. Frank played the part well and both he and the trainees benefited from the process.
The second lesson was with Bob from Helmshore. Bob is a very experienced fly fisher and is chairman of one of the big fly fishing clubs in the North West.
I have been teaching Bob to have more control and accuracy with his casting and being able to overcome the effects of fishing when it's windy.
Most of our reservoirs we use for fly fishing are very windy places and this control is essential to keep us safe and to still achieve some distance and presentation, double hauling is a vital technique in doing this.
Bob was confidently casting a good 60ft straight into a wind today and only using the minimum amount of energy doing it and so went away a happy man.
A day off tomorrow - need to repair my waders which have sprung some leaks! It's all go!
