A wonderful entertaining, informative and educational, what more could be asked of from a speaker. You did exactly what the BBC attempts to do and that is enthral an audience for an evening.          Very well done!     Edward Catton-orr Hertfordshore Branch of the Fly Dressers Guild.  December 2011
Hi Matt/Committee,
I have received an email as below from one of the most surprisingly, engaging and hugely well received hedonistic angler/characters  I encountered as previous Hon. Secretary. I would personally rate Rob who was VERY highly recommended by GWFFA as one one the most impressive and personable speakers I booked  in my stint in the 5 or 6 years as secretary of  Invicta  (and I booked some very top line speakers indeed ) so high praise indeed. All present at the evening were totally captivated and Bob Mallandine, one of my fly-tying group enthusiasts for salmon flies is someone who clearly recognises where he wants to go in pursuit of his dream. I feel this e-Mail presents a great opportunity for a winter meeting to really set the mould and grab attention of  many  members into something totally rewarding. I high commend any offer from him to generate electrifying response at a future Invicta winter evening. He really is someone different!
Regards,
Peter Reeves GWFFA ex-secretary
"I went to Rob's presentation on Atlantic salmon fishing last night and thought it was brilliant, it was well put together, totally entertaining and informative with some outstanding photography and soundtrack's. Well worth the 80 mile round trip. I would recommend any 'fishing club' that wants to learn more about the prospect of fishing for Atlantic salmon abroad to get Rob in and listen to what he has to say - a fantastic evening. Well done Rob and thanks."  Al Owen
It looks like Al Owen got in before me to sing your praises following the talk you gave last night to the RWFF. I made a 62 mile trip to attend and i must say i was thoroughly entertained by your talk and and excellent slide show. A real insight into fishing for salmon and trout abroad in particular the fly fishing in Russia was very interesting.
I know how much goes into making presentations work and i just wanted to say thanks for all the effort and a trip to the Russian Kola is now on the agenda! Dave Summers

Hi Rob - thanks for last night, a well put together and totally professional presentation that was highly informative, captivating and entertaining. Can't remember the last time I enjoyed a RWFF evening so much. Great soundtracks as well, went well with the outstanding photography of both fishing and surroundings. Well done mate.  ROB is available for entertaining presentations to groups & societies on FlyFishing Worldwide & in the UK
