Because in these days of frantic fervor it is all so easy to run round in ever decreasing circles and find that you have expired. Then time has past before you take the opportunity and enjoy the excitement of the take, the thrill of playing the fish and the delight of landing that fish; all on a fly you tied.

If fishing is a thrill then the ability to share knowledge with our young people the next generation of caretakers of our waterways is an absolute joy. Watching youngsters slowly convert from boredom and “I don’t want to be here it’s for old people” to excitement and disbelief as they tie their first fly is truly awe-inspiring. Even Mum was impressed, and the sons smile made a bright sunny day even more special as his smile radiated pride.
