If you are a club or organization looking for a new Winter/Spring activity to pursue in the warm indoors, why not try flydressing? It is a therapeutic occupation - and doesn't have to be at all frustrating if you are taught properly (I am self-taught and I really don't recommend it!).

I am a travelling flydressing instructor and I run group lessons for:

  • Beginners - it doesn't matter whether the students are right or left handed - who have never tried this before.
  • Intermediate flydressers - for solving those tricky flydressing operations that you need to know but have never quite managed to learn.
  • Advanced flydressers - those students who are willing to try anything from detatched-bodied trout flies to fully-dressed salmon flies, and everything in-between.

If you have attended the Bush Beat Angling Fishing Day then you will already have a very good idea of the demands on your concentration.

If you become proficient, you can sell the flies you tie to other anglers - I ran a business like this for about 15 years.
