Default Lessons in Reading Area

Hi all,
A friend of a friend is interested in taking up `that fly fishing malarky'. Not sure of his age or experience (ie whether he has ever coarse fished etc). My advice was not to buy any tackle/equipment initially, but to find a good teacher and have some lessons.
So, within the Reading area, does anyone know of a good tutor, maybe a fishery where tackle could be hired etc?
(Have googled -but word of mouth (word of forum) is much better me thinks)
Thanks in advance for any info

Baz

Baz,

If your mate just wants a couple of informal casting lessons just to see how he likes it pm me. I 'm happy to do a bit to help out a newcomer to the sport. If he gets on well I can arrange to take him out for a day using my gear so he gets a feel for the sport before he starts laying out cash on gear that may not suit him.
