Default Group casting lessons

I all, I am planning a series of group casting lessons at my local small still water.
As we are all tightening our belt in the current economic climate. I thought it would be a good way for beginners and improvers to get a some casting tuition at a reduced cost.
I am not posting details of location yet as I think this may limit the number of people who vote in the poll. I am trying to find out what is the best day to run them on.

Many thanks for your help.

Frank Williams.

Frank, won't the location affect whether people people are able to attend at all and hence give you a suitable day/time slot?

I am looking for something a little more general. The information I want is when would the majority of the fly fishing public have time in their week to come to a casting lesson.
Maybe if I put the location up it will discourage people from voting. As I think I would only get votes from people that are would like to come rather than, if they where going to come what day/time would suit best.

Think back to Saturday night last year. Do you think any of us will be capable?
and a bit of


But if you would like a bit of a tweak to your casting I would be only to happy to oblige.

Thanks Frank, I can see where your coming from. I've voted now with the only available slot in my week, unless I take time off work.

PS - Lewis at Hart fly shop sends his regards.

Might be time to start a new thread;

" Monnow social; Will being pished affect my casting?"

Have a good time guys!

Cheers! Castaline.

"Pishing" is a birder's technique for attracting songbirds. You suck the back of your hand which apparently makes a noise like a giant midge. Come to think of it, that might work for trout if you can get the vibrations into the water .....

Thanks WO , I will be adverising the lessons off the forum as well, so by keeping the Poll general i should get an idea of when people are more likely to have a slot in there week that they can make it.

When you spoke to Lewis where you fishing or buying?
