Wye river keeper, Jan had set up rods and nets for the folk who didn't have suitable river rods and also supplied us with flies.
It has been great to have so much wise support and help freely given. Thank you to the three of you for making this such a good day on the river and thank you to Haddon estates for nurturing such a beautiful natural river.
With support next year from a few of the local clubs we hope to have a few more days out fishing next trout season and hopefully with more anglers taking part?
Anyway spread the word that fly fishing is an elegant and wonderful sport for women and if you are thinking of trying fly fishing just do it!
Do start off with tuition though - from a trained person, not just someone you know who fishes. My first casting lessons were given to me as a Christmas present - it was a voucher from Bakewell Fly Fishing shop with AAPGAI qualified instructor Peter Arfield (see link above). Casting that fly onto the water requires more technique than effort!
Join us and we will try and get you enjoying some time at the river.
