The weather held out for the weekend as a busy Spring Flyfishing show got underway with an exciting programme of events. Headlining the casting pool was Charles Jardine as he slipped into his waders and gave a thrilling demonstration teaching a large audience how to make casts into difficult areas. Hans van Klinken, inventor of the Klinkhamer showed in a packed theatre how to tie his famous flies. The audience on Sunday where amazed when Hans gave away his flies at the end of his demonstration.
Many people watched Dean Andrews from the hit BBC series life on Mars
and Ashes to Ashes and John Tyzak talk about flyfishing techniques on
rivers. Iain Barr enthralled his audience talking about his route to
becoming the current world flyfishing champion. And England's Philip
White gave an amazing trilogy starting in the Lecture theatre, then the
Flytying theatre and finally a casting demonstration on the indoor
casting lake about all aspects of imitative flyfishing.
The weekend saw packed isles as traders sold all the latest flyfishing
tackle and visitors tested out the latest fly rods, lines and reels on
the indoor try-before-you-buy casting lake. Everyone left with many
purchases and smiles on there faces. The Spring Show staff would like
to thank Total Flyfisher and Varivas for sponsoring the show again, and
thank you to all the shows demonstrators and a big thank you to all the
visitors who travelled to the show. We look forward to seeing you again
at the 6th show in 2011.
