Very interested, must confess to being abit nervous about the old esox, especially as my recent post states that I caught a 7lb'er on lobworm the other night.

I'd be very interested, I've been pike fishing, but it would be nice to learn proper techniques and handling.

Well it seems as though we have enough interested to make it viable.I will check through the ones I have allready got booked and work out a few dates.Once cconfirmed I will post the dates that are available to see which suits most the best.

[Angly]

Great idea, count me in as a definate possible please!

[al-samak]

I would definitely come along as well!

 

I am a complete novice at all types of fishing, but I'd love to fish for pike eventually.

Well Ive closed my book for teach ins now for this season so now know definately what dates I can be avaiable.I will contact a few people this week to see if I can get a good venue for any of these dates then see which would suit the majority of people who are interested.Should be able to put up some dates by the end of the week.

As some of you may know for several years now Ive been involved in giving "Pike teach ins" for several clubs and organisations.These concentrate on correct handling and unhooking techniques but also cover my main methods of pike fishing.I cover most things from tackle to location with a bit of DIY trace making as well.During a "normal" teach in we split the day between "class room" stuff and actual practical handling on the bank.I always bring a dead pike along to use for demonstration purposes just in casae the fishing doesnt produce!

 

Ive run a couple in the past for various internet sites AN being one of them.These often (due to the nature of such sites ie the members being well spread geographicly) have taken the form of a two day event.With overnight accomodation made available it makes it more practical for people travelling.On these "week ends" the second day is either spent fishing or going into more specialised areas such as lure or boat fishing.Makes it more worthwhile for people to attend of all experiences.

 

In the past for AN and Fishing Magic teach ins I have been able to use Les Webbers terrific Angling Projects centre at Wraysbury.A great venue as it gives use of both the clubhouse for instruction ,cooking and accomodation as well as the lake being just outside the door! I will have to speak to Les first to confirm the availability.

 

So what does all this cost ? Well nothing actually! all I ask is if we use Les's place people make a contribution to his excellent work of what ever they can manage.I can also bring trout for bait but expect people to pay for these at cost.

 

This is just an out line and if your interested please let me know and If enough are interested I will start making some firm dates and plans.

yeh nice where isit ?/
