Had a good lesson yesterday with a regular client Anna from Wrexham. Anna has had a few lessons concentrating on casting technique but we are now looking at actual fishing techniques.
I describe myself as a fly fishing instructor NOT a fly casting instructor.
Fly casting is very important and the better you can cast the more fish you should be able to catch by having the ability to overcome the forces of nature, wind, trees and bushes in the way etc.. but you also need to ability to fish and "read the conditions".
The very best fly fishers are able to cast well, of course but they also are able to get the best out of the prevailing conditions by applying the most appropriate fishing technique or adopting certain tactics in order to maximise the opportunities of catching.
These are the guys who NEVER blank!!
Glad you had a good time - did Anna catch?

Anna didn't catch on this occassion but to be fair it was not very good conditions. Anna did have a "take" but didn't manage to land the fish. Better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the lesson with yourself and your good Lady, Wendy - see you both then.
