Full diary of lessons this week, mostly at my fishery with the one exception a trip on the Ribble midweek. Might be able to get a bit of time in to wet a line myself sometime over the next few days before, after or between lessons! Salmon and Seatrout are on the move!!!

CLA game fair

Had a great time at the CLA game fair at Ragley Hall over the weekend. I was doing some casting instruction with GAIA over the 3 days. Met some enthusiastic beginners and some experienced wanting a little help with specific casting problems.
Entered my black lab Skye into some of the dog scurries, she did me proud!
Really enjoyable but tiring weekend!

Hot summer trouting

 I was on the Ribble yesterday with a couple of clients. The river is in a bad way ,we desperately need lots of rain.
Everything is clogged up with weed but if you wanted to know where your E.A. licence money goes - then this is a clue , vital river maintenance.

On the river again!

Doing some Tenkara fishing tomorrow on a local small stream - river permitting of course!

Can't wait to get the little 8ft Issui tenkara rod out and in action.

The Issui has had lots of rave reviews since we introduced it to the market - a great little rod

Sportfish open weekend

I will be at the Sportfish Open days this coming weekend 11th and 12th May with Tenkara Centre UK.
I will be doing a couple of Tenkara demonstrations and we will have a stand there as well. Come along and have a go at casting with a Tenkara rod.

Tuition a plenty!

Lots of tuition in the pipeline, fully booked up next week with a good variety of lessons from the guys training for qualifiactions to complete beginners to doublehanded spey techniques.
Hope the weather doesn't go downhill!

Spey casting

Great lesson yesterday with John from the Ribble Valley. John has been salmon fishing for a few years now but wanted to improve his Spey casting. First I did an analysis of his current technique and style and then systematically introduced a series of changes to achieve the objectives.
Great credit to John he adapted and changed things very quickly and so the improvements were accepted readily. In our half day lesson we covered the basic roll cast followed by the double and single Spey in addition to a snap T and snake roll. So John is now much better equipped to handle all weather variations and fishing conditions and was casting very very well. A bit more personal practise and job done! Great lesson!
