Yesterday I had another student at Twynersh Fishery for a re-introduction to angling course. Nigel had fished when he was a lad and was now returning to angling, he had recently done some fishing on his own and had made a comment to a previous post of mine and I wrote a seperate post in answer to this. As this lead me to expect Nigel was a keen and enquiring student and was already aware of some of his faults, he learned quickly and was always ready with a question. I wish more students were like this, for some reason some are reluctant to ask questions and I always try to explain that questions from the students only make the instructor’s job easier!
Nigel caught five or six carp to eight pounds and several tench as well as some nice rudd and roach, we managed to improve on his personal best carp three or four times in the session as well as catching his biggest tench. I demonstrated the lift method in conjunction with my post and he soon mastered the technique, he also caught on a method feeder and sliding waggler.
He is well on his way to becomming a good angler and has expressed an interest in river fishing for our next outing.
If you'd like to leave a comment on this post, here's how.
