I really, really need the services of a local Instructor to help me with casting and flyfishing. I think my main problem is that I fish mainly alone; which I prefer; and I've kind of stumbled into a broad mix of rivers and still waters with some success, but I'm really finding my limitations now. Any recommendations for my neck of the woods?
Thanks guys.

Puts common sense back into fishing. His enthusiasm for fishing and nature spills over and infects all who fish with him. Oh and he's a nutter. I find that helps.

Hi Brifly,

I have nothing whatsoever against instructors (I'm one myself), I'm sure most of them do a good job and lots of people will benefit from their input, but...
I taught myself fishing, casting, tying. It is a very rewarding pastime, provided you persevere and put your priorities right. It's astounding what you can teach yourself once you've taken the decision. What's more, it's very good for your self-confidence and it will reflect on your fishing.
Start by (hookless!!) precision casting in your garden (or in a field) to anything you might find (a plate, a matchbox, a flower, a leaf on a tree or the cat sleeping under the foliage), take this skill to your river or lake and enjoy. Again, instructors are needed (but not for all, or straight away) and if you do want one, do as Acid House suggested : go for the nutty ones, they are the best!!

Tight lines,
Johan

Thanks very much guys, I'll make some calls.

Thanks again guys. It's not a crisis of confidence, just a realisation that there's so much to learn. I don't want to re-invent the wheel, nor do I want to take short cuts; I merely want to improve..... Now!!!!
