Most students in the fine art
of fly fishing can be categorised into three main groups, novices who have never
fly fished at all before, improvers are those who wish enhance their
capabilities and the final category are those who are quite proficient but need

level of fly fishing instruction covers safety, tackle and lines etc. the
basic overhead cast, the roll cast, playing and
landing the fish.

in making allowances for weather conditions, increasing casting
distance using false casting, the single haul technique, and wading
practises.
Proficient:
This level of fly fishing instruction covers the double haul for long distance
casting, changing casting direction,
side casting and accuracy techniques.
Fly fishing lessons can be arranged by the

MALHAM TARN FLY FISHING COURSES
25th - 1st
August 2008
and
8th - 15th August 2008
Malham Tarn
Residential Fly Fishing Instruction

Malham
Tarn holds a stock of genuinely wild brown trout, and this course
gives you the opportunity to enjoy the experience of fly fishing for them
and at the same time learn some of the techniques involved and something of
the life of the trout in the Tarn and in the surrounding waters. In general
terms, the course is aimed at newcomers to fly fishing who wish to try the
sport and other anglers who wish to extend their skills and knowledge. It
will give you a broad view of the whole fishing scene so that you may pursue
any facet later - however, there is no guarantee that you will catch any
trout. It is hoped that the course will enable you to fish more
successfully, but above all to offer you the chance to pursue a satisfying
sport amidst a unique environment and provide you with an enjoyable relaxing
yet instructive holiday. The days will largely be spent fishing with a high
degree of individual instruction and help for those new to fly fishing who
need to acquire the basic skill and techniques.
Visitors to the Malham Tarn Centre can expect
to find a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and although not luxurious, the
accommodation is warm and comfortable, situated in Tarn House itself and the
converted stable blocks. There are four well equipped study rooms, drying
rooms, libraries, a bar, TV lounge and facilities for making drinks at all
times. In addition to a cooked breakfast and wholesome evening meal,
fillings are provided for you to make a picnic lunch to enjoy wherever your
course may take you.
Couples are most
welcome, even if only one is on the course, for your partner there are some superb country
walks in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales or perhaps the other partner may wish
to join one of the other courses being run at the same time as the fly fishing
course. Contact Elizabeth on 01729 830331 for details of all courses.
