"do you

have the email address of any friendly ones? as my casting leaves a lot to

be desired and lessons are so expensive."

 

think it is fly casting in general . . any help appreciated

Assuming they are still there go to Watercraft Products at Apperley Bridge and speak to John Gilpin.

 

They used to do free casting lessons during the spring / summer.

 

If not they should be able to point you in the right direction.

If you get no joy come back to me as I have a friend who delights in teaching the art of casting a fly! And he's not bad at it either.

I believe though that John Gilpin works Saturday mornings at Lathkills in Halifax.

The guy who opened up in Silsden always threatened me with some cheap lessons, have you tried there tinca?

 

Alan Roe's not that far away and sometimes fishes up the skipton end, a few minutes with alan brought on my casting dramatically.

I am over in Lytham St Annes but if you want to pm me with some contact details I'm sure that I could sort you out

Phil, It wasn't me who was enquiring about lessons (although I could most certainly do with some). You raise an interesting point though. You must be talking about Geoff Trigg at GeeTee's. I didn't know he actually gave casting lessons, I'll have to have a word. He once threatened to take me out for a days fishing on one of the Bradford Waltonians waters...perhaps I should point that out again to him....!!

 

Bradford, his (shop) telephone number is (01535) 655555. Might be worth a shot.

[Bradford Angler]

Thanks, it is not for me . . it is for a club member asking for details.

Works out wekk Gee Tee is a bradford angling agent so he should know of the club

 

many thanks all

Yes Tinca, that was the guy, nice bloke, not as gruff as Dave at KL tackle, but unfortunatly I couldn't bob there at lunch time when I worked in Keighley, mind you Dave was OK, once you got to know him.

 

Where's this guy planning to fish once he has his training, there are some lovely fish up at the spot in Lothersdale if he's planning somethin different.
