    New year - New Challenge - Salmon

    After much help and advice on a couple of salmon / flyfishing forums I have taken a tackle plunge

    Shakespeare Oracle 13ft rod
    Shakespeare Plfueger reel
    Snowbee 1D Floating line
    Various poly leaders

    Will be tying my own flies

    I have NO idea how to cast this rod apart from the odd u-tube clip and many wrtitten instructions so will be looking for some lessons. Anyone know a local speycasting instructor?

    The bit of the Wear I live next to is going to get a serious seeing to next year - apologies to those fishing upstream, I'll try to leave them as untraumatised as possible.

    Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but bring a smile to your face when thrown down the stairs

      Can I have lots of salmon tying materials please for a small fee

      I am starting my salmon fishing as I intend to end it - as an expert.

      Experts carry one box of flies maybe 5 patterns that's all I need to master.

      Experts take one step down a pool before making a cast - I can deal with that

      Experts can cast a bit - I'm taking the lessons

      Experts do not wear baseball caps - I getting a new hat

      Being an expert does not garauntee fish - had that one covered from the start

          salmon bob - help me please. Are you a local person of sound mind and body with a CRB check? Can I come fishing with you please. I am very quiet and respectful in real life.

            Remember, some people are alive simply because it is illegal to shoot them.
