Fly Fishing as a hobby or sport can bring huge rewards to many people in many ways it is a hobby firstly that can gives hours of pleasure just finding out about the many factors that make you a better angler, the internet and especially you-tube is an amazing tool to find out about the many different and varied ways anglers go about doing the same things, this last year we have this year done well over 300 learn to fish courses and plan to continue these into next season, these courses can now be tailored from our basic Fly Fishing Experience course, to refresher semi skilled courses, or even advanced casting instruction from one of the countries top instructors, what ever it is that you as the angler would require, I am sure there is someone out there willing to help you advance and that’s what’s good about being a sporting angler its all about getting better and catching using new techniques. With another lad getting some flies that were donated by an angling supporter on Saturday, could I please remind everyone in this run up to Christmas when your girlfriends and wives are wondering what there beloved husband wants, and who probably has two of everything anyway, we are looking for old or rather equipment that you find surplus to your requirements this includes, flies, books, reels, anything to do with fly fishing, we have a lot organised for next year and expect that a lot of kit will be put to a good use by the many kids that we expect to try fishing, on another note yesterday Sunday, I took round to Lindores and gave a lad called “Jacob something” a box of old salmon lures that was handed in, he was about 13 and fishing with a much older friend and he was gobsmacked, he just loves fishing and fishes for pike, and hardly has any kit, he really appreciated the stuff, it’s a bit like recycling but it meant that someone was getting some good use from something that we couldn’t use. Yesterday saw two lads from Edinburgh have a ball with 13 for the boat interestingly it was one lads first time fly fishing, also last night a lad arrived to try a new rod had a few casts and caught 3 all practising for today as he was going to fish somewhere with his dad.
