The bank holiday weekend's Beginners' River/Lake Course saw a gathering of lovely folks descend on Lifton in some long-overdue sunshine. The first day saw everyone get to grips with casting quickly, so it was soon only fair to throw a fly or two at a trout...
Tom was first up, and the near five-pound rainbow just wouldn't give up! Taking his time to play the monster, Tom eventually had the fish in the net... what a great one to start on!
The last couple of days saw the course take to Lifton's rivers. Although conditions were perfect and the gorgeous weather more than welcome, no one thought to tell the trout! Although fish were hard to tempt, all of the participants managed at least one wild brown trout from either the Lyd or Thrushel.
Charles gets to grips with wading and the fine art of double spey casting!
Tony and Wendy enjoy a well-deserved al fresco lunch on the banks of the Thrushel.
Andy throws a line to be proud of...
... only to miss yet another lightning-fast brown trout!
Tom makes a relaxed cast with style... nice work.
And, of course, last but by no means least... the star of the show...
Thanks must go to Charles, Tom, Andy, Tony and Wendy for being a thoroughly enjoyable bunch to teach and to spend time with. We hope to see you all again soon!
