Hi Stuart,
Thank you!
Thanks to your interventions I passed the GAIA Level 2 today at Carsington - how spooky is that!
Awful conditions - wind, rain but apparently not as bad as last year!
So, now to move on to APGAI - hope to receive the benefit of your expertise again in the not too distant future.
Best wishes
Paul

Fly fishing is a complex sport and it can take many years of experience to grasp
most aspects. The learning process can be accelerated with fly fishing
tuition and instruction from a suitably
Qualified Fly Fishing Instructor. Fly fishing instruction not only helps you learn faster, but more importantly, you will learn the correct techniques and therefore not slip into bad habits right from the start. I give fly fishing tuition in all aspects of fly fishing and fly casting and I have listed below many of the areas where you might feel you could do with some instruction. This list is not exhaustive and if you feel that you want to receive fly fishing tuition in something not listed please contact me to discuss your requirements.
All fly fishing
lessons and courses take place in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, on the river or at a local
stillwater. You may have your own favourite piece of water that you wish to use
for fly fishing instruction in the Yorkshire Dales and I am happy to visit you
to give advice and tuition.
All fly fishing tuition is given on a
one to one basis. I
prefer to work this way so that I can give you my full and
undivided attention. This will give you the best chance of success and give
me more time to teach you the art of fly fishing and fly casting. However, if you want to
bring along friends or relatives to make up a small group you are welcome to do
so. Fly fishing instruction can last from 2 hours to a full day or longer, it's
your choice. If you want more general fly fishing tuition you might want to
consider one of my fly fishing courses.
Hourly fly fishing instruction - £30 per hour (minimum 2 hours)
Fly
Fishing Gift Certificates can be used for all fly fishing
tuition - Is your friend or relative struggling with certain aspects of their
fly fishing or fly casting? Why not treat them to a few hours of fly fishing
instruction?
Here are a few suggestions where fly fishing tuition might prove useful:
-
Fly fishing instruction in all aspects of fly fishing.
-
Fly casting lessons - cast better, cast further, cast more accurately, lose those bad flycasting habits, learn new fly casting skills including, the double haul,
Spey casts and snake roll. Improve your fly casting technique by improving your foundation casts - the overhead cast and roll cast. Learn to cast better in wind.
-
River fly fishing tuition - convert from stillwater fly fishing. Instruction in fly line management on rivers, river fly fishing techniques including, upstream
dry fly fishing, downstream dry fly fishing, upstream nymph, Czech nymphing, wet fly fishing (north country spider fishing), duo and trio methods. Anything and everything to do with river fly fishing.
-
Czech Nymph Masterclass - spend some time learning to fish the deadly Czech nymph (or bugging). You'll be amazed at its effectiveness and the places where you can
catch trout and grayling.
Read what some of my guests had to say about Czech nymphing. In addition to Czech nymphing practically you will learn about the flies used, suitable tackle, leader make-up, rivercraft, detecting
the take and minor tactics of Czech nymphing.
-
Stillwater
fly fishing tuition - do others always catch more fish? Successful stillwater fly fishing depends on many things, not least good fly casting ability, but also being able to use many different fly fishing techniques and
adapting them to the conditions. I can teach you to fish with dry flies, emergers, nymphs (including indicator fishing, or the 'bung' as it is also known), wet flies and lures to improve your catch rate. Learn how to 'read'
a stillwater to help your decision where and how to fish.
-
Mentoring for Instructors and future instructors - as an
advanced (APGAI)
instructor I am able to mentor existing STANIC/L1CCA/L2CCA fly fishing instructors for advancement to APGAI level.
I can also coach and mentor anglers who want to become a fly fishing instructor with no previous experience.
I give out high quality handouts with all fly fishing instruction and fly fishing lessons which will serve for many years as a useful source of reference. |
