anyone in manchester/cheshire who could show the ropes "mending" for river fishing. i have not joined anywhere yet(clubs) until i get to grips with it and have been fishing my free local stretches but cant get to grips with mending the line to make my fly behave naturally.

Wish I could help mate but I'm pretty new to the sport myself and I'm in your area and was wondering what free rivers you are fishing? As I would like a bash at river fishing myself.You are in the right place I'm sure you will get some very good answers also YouTube could help you out as well

Contact Gary Hyde, top bloke and only a few junctions up the M62 from Manchester

Welcome to west yorkshire fly fishing services | West Yorkshire Fly Fishing Services

thanks but i was thinking of a fisherman to show me rather than a professional tutor. im a quick learner and once shown the basic mechanics of mending i will practice as i live 5 minutes from the river mersey goyt and tame.

Hi mate
Saxon141 and I are from manc and usually fish stillwaters but we have both been giving the rivers a try, me the Tame and Saxon has been on the etherow. We are new to rivers but if you want to meet up, send me a pm.
Acid house from Bury does rivers too.

How near Salford are you Dan?

If you join Salford Friendly Anglers (it's free via t'tinterweb) and come along to the next meeting the chaps go out for a couple of hours after on the river. We could go through a bit of mending then.
