Episode 327 - Will Shaw & Mark Surtees on Fishing, Fly Casting and Instruction Part 2

I'm pleased to be welcoming back Will and Mark back to the podcast for the 2nd part of their trilogy of interviews that circle around fly casting information for anglers but also for instructors too.

We start with an amazing story from Will on a huge fish he lost recently on a dry fly and how we cope with a loss like this.

We discuss about the difference between stalking fish and fishing the water and how that effects how we look at catching a good fish and whether we snip off and head home or not.

Our conversation moves into casting where there is some great tips for those wishing to improve but some ground-breaking theories on the teaching process when it comes to fly casting.

If you are an instructor or starting on this path, it is essential listening.
