Hi Rob,

thank you very much for the pictures. They are very much appreciated. I also wanted to thank you for a great day's fishing. I learned so much from you and am very keen to learn more [ and improve my casting ] Your patience and sense of humour were very much appreciated. The way in which the day was planned was absolutely superb and the content was just right. A lot of things that I had read about in the past now make a lot more sense. The amount of thought and time that you have put into the content of what you teach on the day were obvious and your going that extra mile with things like the lovely lunch, the hat, the photos and your cleaning and bagging the fish all made for a fantastic day which you taught in a friendly and relaxed way. Having said that I'm still bloody envious of your fishing shed!

Thanks once again Rob, it was great to fish with an expert. I'd love to do it again and will definitely give you a ring [ Will also write to Into the Blue about how good a day it was]
