Had some great lesson over the past few days.
Complete beginners like Bernard from Withnall in Chorley, John from Kearsley in Bolton and Maurice from Colne. Some of my clients who have had lessons recently have returned to Curley's to do some fishing and am delighted that they have now got the bug and into their first Rainbows on the fly!
Mixed into this activity were lessons with my training group - about 12 now who are all working their way to becoming instructors or going for higher qualifications.
Do you want to know more about becoming a Professional Fly Fishing Instructor with a GAIA qualification?? - just get in touch for details.
In between this of course I am trying to get the new tackle shop at Curley's ready for opening and with great help from both my bailiffs, Geoff and Nathan looking after the fishery.
This week is another mixed bag of activities including a couple of sessions on the river Grayling fishing.
Last week I had a three hour session with Mike and his friend Ian.( Two for one!)And found it very valuable indeed. As a complete beginner I was really struggling to get my head around very simple basic things but now have more confidence and am looking forward to really enjoying my new hobby/sport. I received so much information and practical tuition from their many years of experience and thoroughly enjoyed it. Soon I was casting and now I am sure that with a lot of practice it is all going to come together. Thanks to you both and I wish Mike every success with the new shop venture. Bernard. PS Yesterday a dog jumped up at me and I dropped my new Sonik 4 reel and damaged the spool...

Keep practising and get out fishing as much as possible.
