Fly Fishing at Hanningfield
A successful days Fly Fishing Coaching took place at Hanningfield Reservoir on Tuesday 13th April 2010 by kind permission of Essex and Suffolk Water and Nigel Angus from the Hanningfield Fly Fishers Association and his colleagues.
Charlie Brockie and Tony Gleed from 4 Youth and Haydn Walters and David Mirzai from Ingatestone Boys Own Club were fortunate enough to be selected to attend the day.
Sincere thanks to Nigel for his expert tuition throughout the day and for offering advice based on his extensive fishing experiences over the years.
During the morning the young people were given tuition on tackle, flies and casting techniques. After lunch the young people were taken out in the boats to experience fly fishing for the first time. Despite the windy conditions and the cold water Charlie Brockie proudly returned with a pair of rainbow trout one of which he landed by himself. (see attached photo)
It is planned to offer further coaching days in the future. If you have young people interested in this great opportunity please contact the EBGC office.
