COACHING AT THE LAKE 2011
Angling tuition is available from qualified instructors or coaches at the Lake. This can be booked as part of a group or on an individual basis .
Trout Fly fishing
Group Coaching Days are primarily aimed at beginners to fly fishing. These are run by renowned, experienced, qualified and certificated instructors. The group will involve a maximum teaching ratio of 6 clients per coach and includes tackle hire, boat hire and angling permit. Tuition will be given in all aspects of tackle, casting and boat handling. There are six courses planned for 2011 but this is subject to demand.
Coaching days (duration 9am to 5.30pm Mon - Sat, and 11.30am to 7pm Sundays) organised for 2011 will run on Tuesday 31st May, Sunday 19th June, Thursday 23rd June, Sunday 17th July, Thursday 4th Aug, Sunday 14th August. Days can be arranged to suit if numbers are sufficient.
The Head Coach for Group tuition days is John Buchanan; a regular in the Scottish Fly Fishing Team (twice Captain of gold medal winning teams), two times winner of the Daily Record Champion of Champions and Manager of the Scottish Ladies National fly fishing Team....... The all inclusive cost is £45 weekdays and £50 at the weekend. To book or for further details contact the fishery. Following completion of the course, the Lake is offering a HALF PRICE BOAT to who ever introduced the course to the beginner (can be the beginner if he read it himself).
Individual Coaching: One to one tuition can be arranged with suitably qualified coaches, the price depends on the arrangement but is likely to be around £60 to £70 for the day, in addition boat and permit fees. To book contact the fishery.
Youth Coaching: We have a successfull youth angling club called the cormorants which is administered by Coach Alisdair Mair (See Youth link).
Pike Fly Fishing Introduction
Pike fly fishing is relatively new to the Lake but the lake abounds with this wild fish and the sport with a fly rod is exceptional. There are rules regarding the pike fishing (see pike angling), and if you would like an introductory free lesson to the art, expert Fly Pike angler Dave Lindsay has offered a free introductory lesson - if you pay for the boat. A fantastatic offer in my opinion. To book an introduction to fly fishing for pike from Dave, contact the fishery, pike tackle hire can be arranged at no cost for the introductory lesson.
A very special thanks to the Angling Centre Stirling for provision of the beginners tackle. Anglers who successfully complete a trout or pike introductory course have also been offered a 10% discount on tackle by the Angling Centre Stirling.
