The Core Components of Fishing Success

Posted by Stuart Wardle on Saturday, October 11, 2014, In : Tuition 
A presentation I gave this week to the Members of Halifax Fly Fishers was on this very subject.

So what is success?  
What makes you happy?
Do you know what success looks and feels like for you?

3 crackers for a first timer in North Yorkshire

Posted by Stuart Wardle on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, In : Tuition 
Kim is new to fly fishing and booked a day to go somewhere nice, learn how to cast a fly and hoefully catch a trout. 
Not a problem I said....so breakfast in Bedale followed by a day on the Lake at West Tanfield on the sunniest day we have had for over 6 weeks.
