On Sunday I was back at Twynersh in the same swim that produced such good results on Friday. This time I was teaching a father and two sons. Their mum made the booking with me last week, although she didn’t fish. Steve, their dad, has not fished much since he was a boy and was delighted to be the first to catch a fish.

The boys, Jack and Alex, soon started catching fish just under the surface on a small pole float on a five metre whip and an element of competition became evident.

By the end of the day Twynersh had produced another bag of one hundred fish.

It is such a good idea for a father to accompany his sons on one of my fishing lessons as he will have to go with them for at least a few years. It is even better when mum comes too. I am really looking forward to my next lesson with this family.
