Discounted Tuition Days
For the last few seasons we have offered free tuition to men, women and children alike. These events have proved to be very successful and will continue into the 2013 season, however due to their popularity a small charge of £10 per person will be administered. A small price to pay for the introduction to a lifetime of enjoyment.
For beginners there is an introduction to the art of flyfishing from rods and equipment used, learning the overhead cast through to setting up leaders and choosing the right fly. Some improvers managed to develop their overhead cast and wanted to move to more advanced techniques such as the very useful roll cast.

Dates will be: 17th March, 21st April, 11th May, 18th May, 9th June, 30th June and 13th July respectively. All discounted tuition days must be booked in advance.
