Indeed and if I lived closer I'd be there with you.

Look to the north east to see the alternative and rejoice in what you have and what you have achieved!  

You guys walk while others just talk.

A good turnout today and a nice mix of single and double handers Also a big welcome to our new young member Charlie (aged and dad Peter who I know reads what he can of this forum. Young Charlie ended up the day putting out a lovely line of about 30 feet or so and was well pleased. He had the Orvis junior Guide 5 weight rod but in my opinion this is much too stiff for a learner and I ended up putting a 7 line through it in order to get a bend in it with 8 yards of line out. The single handers were all on roll casting today with the exception of young Charlie and a lot of progress is being made quite quickly. One of the older gentlemen was consistently roll casting 40-50ft off either shoulder.

A couple of new faces in the amongst the salmon casters too with our (almost) resident instructors Ian Kirk and Andrew Toft giving one to ones unstintingly as usual.

hi gents,I havn.t visited the forum for quite a while (my loss).
I came across this topic by accident, I did not realise the gentlemen I have been
spending my Sunday mornings with were members of this great site.

I count myself lucky to be able to participate in many of the different branches
of our fantastic sport, but the one that alluded me was the double handed salmon rod.

5 weeks ago I turned up at the GCC armed with an old B&W15footer from Ebay and a lot of hope,
I was made welcome by everyone there, handed rods to try lines to try, tackle I could never afford
and great advice from every one.

I think its fantastic that these men give up there time to teach total strangers this fine art.

I will hopefully see you all tomorrow.

I'm being cajoled/forced into christmas shopping this weekend , so apologies to the casting club, but I won't make it.

I don't think we've met, Invictor, but I'm glad you have got something out of it. I certainly have, both from the learning and the teaching points of view.

I think we've met Invictor. May see you tomorrow, this snow means that my hoped for trip out for grayling is probably a no go.

The pound was not fit to cast a line on.

Aweman(Malcolm) and myself turned up but, due to the whiteout we gave it a miss.
