  • A while back a friend of mine took me fly fishing for the first time and subsequently sold me a couple of reels and a rod. I used to do a bit of coarse fishing as a kid with floats, spinners and ledgers but fly fishing appears to be a dark art. Can anyone recommend a book or YouTube channel to get me started please?

  • Check out Simon gawesworth for casting and some fishing tips on YouTube, as well as some of Luke bannister’s videos which can be quite useful. IB and Andy fishing channel is a bit marmite but I’ve found it to be really useful for tips and tricks.

  • Thank you, I’ll check those guys out. I was also recommended Hywell Morgan videos for technique which I’ve bookmarked. I was glad to see all episodes of ‘Passion For Angling’ are uploaded too, I’ll be gorging on that next time my wife is away.

    @ColinTheBald So I fully appreciate I’m a spawny git with what my mate gave me, what can I say, he’s a generous chap… No flies though, the bastard.
    Thank you also for the casting tips, I’m going to see if the local reservoirs have a learn-to-fish day I can jump on…
