Just an option Graeme, Just in case the carpark is full....... Just trying to offer help mate

[Hirdy]

Ah, okay.

No, it won't be a problem with cricketers. If the netball was on too, that could be a problem, but there is always parking there in summer.

Cheers,
Graeme

[Brad Yates]

Was a good day , thanks Graeme . Didn't ask much as watching that bloke cast really easy and just adjusted my style I say will help next time out fly fishing .

[Hirdy]

It's okay that you didn't ask much: I picked his brain on everything I could!!! I think I asked enough questions for all of us.

[Andre Rossouw]

Thanks for organizing this Graeme!
Was a great day out.

[Roger Smith]

I did learn a lot about how I need to practise more, It was a great experience.
Thanks a lot Graeme for all your effort in putting this together.
Luv Rog

No problems guys. Like I've said before, organising this was a purely selfish act: I wanted to get a lesson from Paul but didn't want to pay the price to get him over here completely out of my own pocket. You guys shared the expense and the experience.

So, actually, I should be thanking all of you for chipping in for my lesson!

Two things really stuck for me: that fully outstretched horizontal arm on the haul for the back cast and tucking the rod butt against the wrist to flick "as if you're throwing a frisbee in the vertical plane" on the back cast.

Of course, watching those distance casts with 90' of line carried was also awesome!!!

Cheers,
Graeme
