Today I met Evaleen and her son Steffan and Angela and her son Ruudi for their second course at Twynersh. After a very slow lesson last time I made a special effort and arrived at the fishery two and a quarter hours early to get the swim I wanted. This is the last lesson I will be holding for Evaleen and her son as they are due to return to Canada in ten days so it was worth the extra effort.
The lesson started with a little casting practice and I found Ruudi much improved as he had been practicing at home and when all the arms were aching we started fishing. I had set up five metre whips and pole floats set to fish the bait very shallow. The perch and rudd had been taking loose fed maggots on the surface while I was waiting.
Steffan was the first to catch and soon everybody was catching fish. Twynersh was still on top form and the sport became fast and furious.
Soon both mums were catching fish as well and as I became busier all four students were putting on their own bait and unhooking their own fish.
Steffan managed to catch more than forty fish during the lesson and Ruudi was not far behind but once again it was one of the mums that caught the biggest fish.
Once again a wonderful day with this group but I will miss Steffan and his mum, he is well on his way to becoming a capable angler.
