East Lodge, River Itchen
Join Nick Measham and Harry Mountain for a day covering the casting techniques and general fishing knowledge to improve your sport. The day will have something for everyone from novice to the more experienced. The day will begin with the vital coffee and a discussion about tackle for river trout fishing. Then we will get into the core of the day – practising and improving casting while trying to catch some Grayling.
We will cover single handed casting – overhead, roll and shooting line – with a focus on nailing the basic techniques and ridding you of common – and not so common – faults. Should anyone wish, Nick can help with double-handed tuition too. The aim is to give you as much individual help as we can.
Over lunch, we will talk leaders, knots and flies. Then, back to the water for more casting practice.
Nick is an AAPGAI instructor who spends his time as CEO of WildFish making sure we have fish to catch for years to come.
