BOAT FISHING
If you think that fishing a large reservoir is beyond you, or you feel intimidated by such an expanse of water, then let me show you the ins and outs of boat fishing.
I will cover all the tactics you need to tackle any reservoir: from the surface of the water to fast sink line methods. You will learn all the modern techniques that are at the cutting edge of this sport.
Being a competitive angler allows me to keep my finger on the pulse – and I’m more than happy to share my wealth of knowledge. The only drawback to this is that you might find yourself suffering from information overload!
Of course, there are many fishing guides in this country, but I am unique in being able to iron out any casting faults you might have and teach you all you need to know about reservoir fishing.
DEMONSTRATIONS
Have you ever thought of having a World and European Champion demonstrating at your show?
Hywel first stepped onto a casting platform at just four years old, at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show. Since the age of fourteen, he has regularly demonstrated at shows all over the UK and Europe.
He is the only World Fly Casting Champion who demonstrates, and since his early baptism, he has developed a wonderfully relaxed and humorous way of informing and educating the audience about the fascinating world of fly fishing.
His enthusiasm during the demonstration appeals to both anglers and non-anglers alike at Country and Agricultural Shows as well as Anglian Fairs.
In addition to casting demonstrations in arenas, Hywel can offer a static fly tying demonstration and tuition.
Over the past 30 years, Hywel has also compèred numerous shows and has frequently been asked to manage countryside arenas with a strict timetable of activities and displays.
If you would like further information or would like to book Hywel to demonstrate at your show, please do not hesitate to contact him
