Fly Tying

The fly tying classes that i am running, for the first time i might add, are going well with no-one dropping out, yet! also, there is a definite improvement in the beginners flies, from the "my god whats that", to the recognisable fly, and the advanced are really wanting to try new methods of tying with modern materials and techniques.
Hopefully i will try to post some pictures of the class at their vices,

sea trout

Early on Saturday (5th) morning a friend, fishing on our private water managed to hook and land? six (6) sea trout, and had the misfortune to have a salmon come at his lure twice! and failed to connect! some people are always in the right place at the right time.
My last outing ended with the sea trout still safe and sound, apart from a few swirls, not even a nip or pluck! some you win, some you lose.
Well, the river fishing for Brown trout on the Axe and Tone has finished for this season, now we will have to target the Grayling, a lovely fish and much under rated by a lot of trout anglers

Fly Tying

Friday night (4TH oct) saw the start of a fly tying course for 8 anglers, four were up to intermediate level, the other four were beginners.
Given that the beginners had never tied a fly before, by their third fly they had produced a reasonable copy of a Black & Peacock Spider.
The intermediate class progressed from tying Klinkhammers, to the more advanced detached bodied May Fly, (see under "flies" on home page) 
This is my first attempt at running a fly tying course, apparently, everyone enjoyed the evening, and have signed up for all of October, hopefully, into November as well.
Will try to keep you posted each week.
