Default Casting lessons in scotland

i am still being asked for lessons but due to work and being unqualified and having plenty of bad habits i reccomend a look at www.flycastingscotland.co.uk

This is John Milnes site a top class instructor in the central belt area and i have no connection at all to john other than he visits all fisheries in my general area.

cheers.

I've couldn't agree more , John is an excellent instructor. George at New Haylie put me on to John a couple of years ago, when I asked at the fishery about lessons,
It was certainly money well spent. I have no hesitation in recommending John as an instructor to anyone.

I took a look at his personal site yesterday and had a look at his fees. i maybe tempted making a booking at some point for his guiding service.

Nice one Alex.
I have been asking around for a instructor locally to teach my two daughters and it has been murder!!!
Moray Fisher has offered his help the next time I am up north, and I am grateful for that.
Most of the guys are into Spey casting and dont seem interested in trout casting.
I could probably show them something myself but I didnt want to give them all my bad habits.
Cheers for the link.

Have you tried Andrew Toft or Peter Anderson ? The're both in your area.

A bit further away, Alberto Laidlaw in Strathblane.

Game Angling Scotland

Ohanzee(zoomer) is a qualified instructor

Just a thought
