Fly fishing lessons
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.

My new enterprise
The new tackle shop at Curley's is progressing well now.
I have been trying to impersonate a joiner by making all the new shop counters for the last couple of days. The slatwall boards that will carry most of the stock on display will be fitted on Tuesday.
Been accepting stock deliveries and ordering even more stuff .. it's a great way of spending lots of dosh!!!
Fly displays and rod display racks are all finished.
Is the end nigh I ask myself???

Tackle for u
Things are progressing a little at a time with the tackle shop, obviously not as quickly as I had wanted or anticipated but when does anything work out exactly???
I went to the Tackle and Gun Trade show a few days ago and made some good contacts and opened up more accounts. I am now happy with the line-up of suppliers and manufacturers and am very confident of being able to offer some really great fly fishing equipment.
The first orders will be delivered end of this week and into next - Just need somewhere to put it all before the shop actually opens!!
The shop itself will be fitted out over the next week - all the fittings are on order and will start to be delivered over the next few days. So it's all hands to paint brushes, screw drivers, saws etc to get it all ready.
I hope you'll all like it when it finally opens!

What bad weather??
Lousy weather but fortunately it is not putting a lot of people off wanting to learn fly fishing.
I have a full schedule of lessons this week and still a fair few for the coming weeks.
However I can still fit you in... just give me a ring or send me an email.
I haven't had a chance to do some quality salmon fishing much this year - maybe put it down for one of my new year resolutions for next year - More Salmon Fishing !!!
Just ordered a load of stock for my new tackle shop at the fishery - a real good exercise in getting rid of £20 notes!!! I will be shop fitting it over the next couple of weeks and then think about when to officially open it. In the meantime if any of you want any tackle I will have lots to sell!!!

Back into action
Back from my holidays, had a great time but more than ready to get back into action with the tuition, fishery and tackle shop!
I have some free time for tuition over the next couple of weeks and this will always be the priority.
Missed out on end of season Salmon but plenty of time to get in some of the year's best fishing - Grayling.
If you haven't done any Autumn, early Winter Grayling fishing then you are really missing out.
