.... As in once learnt, never forgotten.
I gave my dad a fly fishing set up for Xmas and finally I took him fishing to Bushyleaze this afternoon; he hadn't been fly fishing about 35years

Well heaviest weight he ever cast was about a 4/5w set up and I had brought him a GRXI 7/8 weight. it took him all of about hour to make it seem he'd never had a 35 year gap, and as for my so called technique, well he made me look like the novice I truly am
We never caught anything but he absolutely loved it; so, there's one more back to the sport
