Monday was the last day of the summer holidays for most kids and I was back at Twynersh with Nicola, her son Mathew and John and his son Nicholas. All had fished a little but their experience was so limited I decided to structure the lesson as if they were total beginners.
The casting exercise went down well as usual and both boys took an active part in the explanatory talk I give at the start of each lesson. I had got my usual swim on the match lake and the fish co-operated as always.
The fish fed throughout the lesson and everyone caught lots of fish but John was “reluctant” to have his photo taken with only small fish - perhaps next time, John!
A really good lesson with very pleasant people. They must have enjoyed it as much as I did since they booked another lesson before they left.
If you'd like to leave a comment on this post, here's how.
Hi Martin,
indeed Nicholas & I did enjoy it very much! I am sure Nicola & Mathew did too.
Regards, John
