Default Casting lessons in Lancashire area

Can anyone suggest a casting instructor in the Lancashire area?

I am new to fly fishing, having accompanied a friend several times now.

I am about to buy my own gear and start going on my own, I want to start off properly and hopefully avoid developing too many bad habits!

Thanks in advance

Cam

youll find it hard in Lancashire to get a good casting instructor it is probably better travelling into Yorkshire and trying someone like Phil at flyfishwithme. Their is a long and distinguished list of excellent casting instructors within gods fine county.

Phil at flyfishwithme is very good as is Gary Coxon who is based in the NW, especially if you are interested in salmon casting.
