Question Fly Casting Tuition

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here and it looks like a great site. A few folk have recommended I check it out, so I decided to sign up.

I started fishing around 7 months ago, mainly bait fishing around fisheries and sea fishing the odd time. A good few people encouraged me to take up fly fishing, so not long ago I decided to go out and get myself a fly rod and reel. Due to the bad weather, I have only gave it a try 2 or 3 times now. I have been watching videos on youtube etc. on how to cast, but have found it to be pretty hard. I was wondering if anyone teaches, or knows of any fly fishing tutors\clubs out there in or around the Glasgow area.

Thanks in advance

Euan

Default A Few options

Euan,

you could try the Glasgow Casting club, Its run by Zoomer, Brianfishing and a couple of the other guys off the forum , they are qualified instructors so I know that they will put you on the right track.

Another option would be to come to the GAIA (Game Angling Instructors Assoc.) Open day

or gave a look at the GAIA website

regards

Frank
