Hello all I thought I would let you know that I had a great lesson with Ben and learnt more in a few hours than I have tried to learn in 2 years myself, I would like to thank Ben for the help and gifts and taking the trouble to come all the way to help me. A true Gent and it was really great to meet him. Thank you Ben . Jack . . .

Jack, an absolute pleasure and a pleasant morning spent with you in what is a rather enviable 'man-cave' full of fishing gear, fly tying gear, golf clubs and air rifles.

Hope to see you again soon for a session on Hanningfield!



Ben (still stuck in Nassau with two broken fishing rods)

That's a really nice thing to do. Fair play Ben.

Where's Nassau ? Is that past Swindon

Sean

Past Swindon, hang a left out over the Atlantic, down through the Upper 48 States, down over the Lower 48, over Florida and touch down in Nassau, Bahamas.



'Tis a hard life.

Hi Jack & Ben

Glad to hear you finally got your lesson in Jack,Ben nice one for helping him out as he did make a few posts with no interest

Neil

I tell you what, Jack is a pleasure just to 'hang out' with. His wife makes a killer cup of tea and his rescue greyhound is an absolute peach too.

well worth a visit just for that


Ben

Hi Chelsea yes it was really good of Ben to take all the trouble of helping me and it has made a great difference as a lot of the gear I never knew what they were for and now I am practising and getting on well, I have made a few Hares Ears but no where near as perfect as the ones Ben showed me to tie but it is getting there. Jack . . .

Good on you Ben for taking the time to help out a beginner , Jack will be out there snapping them up on his own flies all thanks to you.

Hi Corky yes it was really kind of Ben to help me and it has made a vast difference as I picked up so many tips from him, and also we had a delightful social morning with him and it was great to actualy meet someone from the site and I really appreciate him giving up his precious free time and the help he gave me.
