Hi dwdw1,

I have just been helped by Pete Tyjas ( Devon School of Flyfishing)
who taught me to cast with my right hand (im left handed normally but have had an op on it)

First class bloke, and I am now getting a full line out with my right arm.

Andy

Thanks Lads, I'm going down to see Pete next month - perhaps I should change hands!!!!
I'll let you know how I get on.
I videoed my efforts the other evening and watched it back. How depressing -I looked like I was conducting the London philharmonic -badly,whilst having an epileptic fit! Not so much a sexy loop as more of a perfect wave.

I could probably help if you are in the Dorset area.

I took a lesson last week with Tim smith
He's got a real talent for seeing what you're at without being all over you all the time. Excellent and simple technique. It's a real skill to read the punter so quickly and accurately. I'll be back for a few more lessons during the Summer without a doubt.
