Daughter and father taster session

Posted on by Howie

Amy contacted me to purchase a voucher for herself and father. Then arranged a meetup for a taster session on the River Adur. The weather could not have been better. I must say, they both picked up the skills very quickly and was able to enjoy what turned out to be a lovely morning’s fly fishing together. Followed by kind feedback from Amy:

“Hi Howie,

Thanks very much for Saturday. My dad and I both had a great time. We’ll definitely recommend you. And yes, I think we’ll try chalk springs soon, and send a pic of anything caught.

Warm wishes,

Amy”

Great feedback guys. Makes my work all the more worthwhile.

Hi Howie 

We had an absolutely fantastic day today. 

You were a great instructor to have and I’ll definitely recommend you to others

Thanks so much for creating such an unforgettable experience, sunshine and good company was the best we could have asked for 

Thanks again! 

Carp off the top in late November

Posted on by Howie

I am lucky to be retired and mostly, able to pick my fishing days and weather too. It is now late November and yesterday was a rare but lovely sunny day so off I went to one of my club, carp lakes. By the time I arrived (10am) it had started warm and it was not too long before the fish started surfacing and feeding. By 1pm I’d had maybe 12 fish off the top. The best was pushing 9lbs leather carp which sucked in the fly about 2mtr in front of me.

I must concentrate on fishing the margins more next time. There seems to be bigger fish patrolling there?
