Had a good lesson with Andy from Thornton Cleverleys, yesterday. Andy has done a bit of maggot drowning in the past and was bought a full day gift voucher by his children to learn fly fishing.
After talking to Andy I felt confident that fly fishing would offer all the things he was looking and hoping for in a new pastime. He wanted activity and a challenge as much as anything and fly fishing certainly tick all those boxes.
When we got down to it his roll casting was good particularly off the opposite shoulder but his overhead casting was very good. Just a slight tendency to overpower a little but on the whole very good.
Hopefully Andy will go on to become a very keen fly fisher - another one over from the dark side of coarse fishing!
Hope you have a good time at Chatsworth, getting our new rods on Sat so practice on the field in the afternoon then a bit of fishing somewhere - any suggestions on where? Thinking of barnsfold but not sure, if we do go i guess it'll be buzzers and something deep as i think it'll be bright
