When more than one instructor is
required, then my colleagues will also be APGAI
members, assuring you of the highest possible standard
of coaching available in Britain.
I have over 40 years experience of
game angling on waters varying from the chalk streams
of the South to the rain fed rivers and streams of Northern
England and the Scottish Borders. Pride of place though
must be given to a lifetime’s experience on the
waters of Shropshire and Wales, the areas in which I
have always lived. I have taken salmon, sea-trout, trout
and grayling on both fly and bait, aquiring considerable
knowledge along the way, which I hope to pass on to
you.
Always involved in other aspects of
the sport, I have held the position of Editor
for the Grayling Society & the Flydresser’s
Guild and have been local branch organiser
for those same bodies, plus the Salmon &
Trout Association. For many years I have been a guest speaker and flydressing demonstrator at various angling organisations.
These experiences provided the opportunity
to learn much more about our sport than just angling,
and this knowledge improves the level of service that
we offer to you.
As with other sports, it is the up
and coming youngsters who will help to secure the future
and thankfully, a growing number are coming to us for
instruction. I can assure parents that the backgrounds
of both myself and colleagues have been checked by the
Police (CRB), and that we are accredited to
work with young people. We are also trained
First Aiders.
