hi all

ive been fishing all my life, but only flysishing for the past two years, ive been looking at some instructor courses recently to teach basic fly casting and tying, due to thinking about starting a club for the younger generations in the summer holidays on my days off as a chef. has anyone done one off these courses or know about starting a youth fly fishing club. im based in Newtown mid wales and the river is perfect fly water and most off it is free water

anyone got any advise

cheers

Matt

I am pleased to see that you wish to teach the fishers of tomorrow. The problem seems to be to convince the schools that fishing is good. Whether it be fly fishing sea fishing or bait fishing.After all its all fishing,Try the website
The Social and Community Benefits of Angling | Substance it may give you some info.
As for the free fishing nothing is free,all land belongs to someone find out who it belongs to,get permission to fish it.Then get the insurance,remember all people who take out or help with youths are required to untake CRB checks.It is a nightmare the biggest problem is the funding for this kind of activety. Try for funding,maybe you can get it with coalfields regereration or landfill tax,youir local council can helpout. Get the papers to help you,remember its election year so maybe you can get a pet M.P onboard. What do you charge? especially if the fishing stretch is free.The fishers who fish these stretch normally start complaining because they think you are going to stop them fishing or charge them. Im no expert but we are trying to do the same in Yorkshire.The bait fishers are miles ahead in the field of encouraging younsters to fish. Our website is Sprite I will help as much as I can.
P.S I am a quailified coach in gamefishing

cheers guys ive got alot to think about it seems.... i knew there will be an awful lot off hurdles involved with the youth sceme, but i know what u mean when it comes to m.ps lol imagine our local mp lembit opik......fail. but he'd do it just for the publicity, sage i'll call as soon as i can.
again all your knowledge is really helpfull...i know ive still got mountins to learn but that comes with experience i guess..
i know nothing is free but our local water is only really sutable for fly fishing all the others in the club usually fish the carp pool above our town. and in honesty i think in the past two years ive only ever seen about ten people on the river itself.

cheers again
