CHAPPIE CHAPMAN’S WINTER FLY FISHING PROGRAM.
LEARN TO DOUBLE
HAUL
If you are
planning a mid-winter trip to the Tongariro or a salt-water fly fishing trip to
some exotic location learning to Double Haul for distance and handling windy
days is just about essential. I can
teach you that quite easily. One short
lesson together with some practice on your part will ensure more enjoyment and
less frustration on your chosen location
SPEY CASTING
This method
of fly fishing is really catching on now.
Long effortless casts and greater line control and effortlessly casting
very heavy flies are just some on the many benefits of Spey Casting. Learning how to do this can open new doors to
your fly fishing, especially if you wish to fish the Tongariro or for salmon on
our local rivers. You can even apply
these techniques to using your single handed rod.
FLY FISHING
SCHOOLS
These well
proven two day classes have been run for nearly 30 years. Many anglers currently fishing have started
with these classes. In two days you will
learn what you might teach yourself in three years or more. No equipment is needed as I provide
that. I also provide a 30 page book of
notes and all morning and afternoon teas and lunches too. The classes are limited to five students at a
time so individual tuition is well provided.
This is not a fishing trip.
Things that are covered are, rod reel and fly-line selection, tapered
leaders and tippets and how to assemble them, fly selection, basics of fly
casting (two sessions), where to find the trout and why they are there, the
influences of water temperature and barometric pressure and many other aspects
too. Bookings are essential as these
classes are held on pre-determined dates.
WINTER GUIDING.
Don’t hang
up your rods just yet! There is some
pretty good winter fishing to be had.
Limited to one or two anglers per day and at a reduced rate to summer
guiding. Everything can be provided including
rods and reels, waders and wading boots, flies and tippet materials, a
sumptuous lunch and even a beer at the end of the day. This would be well suited to someone visiting
our city and finds themselves with a spare day on their hands
