In addition to guiding, I run
about twenty-five, two day fly-fishing schools
for novice to medium ability students, per year.
In addition to these I also run about six three
day courses, catering to advanced students.

and a light lunch will be provided and for those
who require equipment, top of the range Sage
and Loomis can be provided, although you may
use your own if you prefer.
This course is limited to a
maximum of twelve students and the all up cost
is NZ $300. This course
is professionally run; I have
a qualification as a Certified Fly-Casting Instructor,
from The Federation of Fly-fishers U.S.A.
It is the experience of the
students that they learn in two days, that which
would take them about three years on their own.
ADVANCED
FLY FISHING COURSE
I am also able to offer
an advanced fly fishing course.
The course is one full day Advanced Fly-casting
Tuition. On the second day, in the
morning, we practice the presentations
on a local stream. In the afternoon,
we have a fly-tying clinic under the instruction
of professional fly-tyer, Reg McLintock
from Mainstream Flies.
We have two instructors for this course,
which covers a wide range of advanced
casting, such as slack line presentations,
reach mends, parachute casts, curve casts,
double hauling, and other techniques for
distance casting and handling windy conditions.
We also do some advanced Entomology along
with some advanced leader construction.

|
The cost for this course is
NZ$250 and includes morning and afternoon teas,
together with tuition. You will need to
provide your own lunch.
This is a Two Day Fly-Fishing Course and has limited
numbers.
