39TDS Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Find a local trout fishery and ask if they do lessons. Well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Get in touch with a local angling club, they usually have the retired type who would be prepared to start you off for tens of pounds. If you lived nearer i could help you out. A word of warning though: Fly Fishing can become an obsession! Ask a man who knows.....

39TDS Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The wanted £150 for 2 hours That's steep! I would also say that an hour is plenty to start with. Ring round and find another, cheap isn't always better though. I had one hour lesson and went from there, not claiming to be ace but I do catch fish.

pegasus bridge Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 that does seem very expensive! i had lessons locally with a qualified coach, who writes for one of the trout fishing mags - he was charging £40 an hour!. i fished recently at 'Thorpe Vale', near ludford, market rasen, Lincs and saw an advert for a local qualified instructor for £20 an hour. once you have had some lessons - you should try 'Roxholme' trout fishery, nr worksop not for a fly fishing purist i know, but some great sport, very well stocked indeed (rainbows to 21lb, lots of doubles).

helios Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The price you have been quoted is totally wrong. I'm a qualified fly casting instructor, it's usually around £30 ph and reduced the more hours you have, Go On the Game Angling Instructors Association web site and put in your location.

Lord Geordie Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I bought a DVD for learning the casting technique. I practised on the field and did rather well. I then went fishing on a local river on the free spots and really enjoyed myself. The time flies "no pun intended" It's really good fun and a tad expensive. I was lucky enough to have a few people locally giving up and managed to snag a few bargains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yates Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Try contacting Thrybergh flyfishing club. They give free fly casting and freeflytying lessons. They're based at Thrybergh Reservoir in Rotherham. I know they meet every Thursday between 7pm and 9pm.

kent Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 The price you were quoted sounds excessive however how much is the fishing at this venue? Take that away from the instruction perhaps? A day on my local reservoir with a boat costs as much as a days game shooting walked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
