Fly Fishing Tuition with qualified instructor Nick Hart ...

THE GALLERY - AUGUST 2003, CLA EDITION

     

 

 

 

 


August remained warm, certainly one of the best summers the U.K. has seen for a long time.  River fishing remained tricky because of low water conditions, but even so my guests still caught fish, and plenty of novices enjoyed their first outing, several receiving Gift Vouchers   I spent 22 days out on the water with guests, but before that find out what I was up to in early August ...


1st - 3rd August 2003 - THE CLA GAME FAIR, Harewood House, Yorkshire.

I was privileged to be asked to demonstrate at one of the worlds largest game fairs during 2003, The Country Landowners Association or CLA for short.  Teaming up with Henry Gilbey we provided demos in saltwater fly fishing and compared regular sea angling tactics with those used by today's fly fishers.  The show included distance casting techniques , fishing with poppers and how to fight a shark on fly tackle, Henry rowing a boat to simulate the fish !!!

Nicks turn to be a shark!  Rowing for his life Nick attempts to stretch Henry Gilbeys shark fishing tackle to the limit, Henry won! Now the boot is on the other foot, with Nick playing Henry on shark FLY FISHING tackle.  Nick won! The show went down well with a couple of good reviews in the press and I am pleased to announce that you will be able to catch Henry and I at next years show to be held at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, from 23rd to 25th July 2004. 

Liz and Frank Wilson enjoy the fantastic summer weather and some fine fishing 13th - 14th August 2003

Liz purchased Frank a gift voucher for Christmas 2002, and booked in for a mid August course.  They both caught a few fish, enjoyed drinks at the local inn during the afternoon and topped up the tan at the same time.

Fly Fishing is great for a father & son day out 21 - 22nd August 2003

Mike ( the father ) and Tom ( the son ) came during a short spell of cooler weather during August, but managed fish on both days.  Tom did very well catching fish up to 4lbs and learning to cast in under 2hours.  Mike also did very well putting his 20 year old rod and line back into service after a long break!  Of course for those of you without tackle Nick Hart Fly Fishing provides top quality equipment, and can help advise on requirements at the end of each course.


25 - 28th August 2003 - 4 Day Course

I meet all sorts of great characters when teaching / guiding and Tim Lee was no exception.  One of the easiest going chaps I have ever met Tim sorted his casting during his course of 4 days and sampled river, lake and saltwater fly fishing.  In the end it was River fishing which became his passion and I am looking forward to Tim's return next year for a further couple of days spent on the river.

What our guests say ...

Many thanks for a great weekend which was most enjoyable and also very instructive. I know I learnt a great deal. 

Mike Slipper, Swindon, May 2003

The day was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable that I can remember in a long time - a superb antidote to the stresses of the office and probably the best Christmas present I have ever had.

Ewan Davy, Devon, June 2003

Thanks for everything that you did last week. I had a
fantastic time. You have taught me so much and kindled a passion - I
believe!

Tim Lee, Surrey, August 2003
