If you ever feel like lending me your mate, let me know, you've done more than a little well there. Look after that kit, it's not inexpensive and will reward your newly honed skills. What you have there is just about the perfect light reservoir or general stillwater kit and a line for every circumstance. Your local reservoir would be a great place to start, particularly if they have someone who can help with your casting.
Tip 4: avoid the temptation to strive for distance, just avoid the line hitting the water like a plate of spaghetti hurled from the Moon. Distance comes with practice and technique, not power.

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…
