At the Eoin Fairgrieve Centre of Excellence, our teaching philosophy revolves around creating a relaxed and comfortable environment for the student to realise his/her full casting potential. We analyse each key point of the pupil’s casting cycle and relay to them both the positive and negative aspects of their style. Our intention is to give the caster an understanding of the fundamental principles of each discipline of fly casting and how they relate to more energy-efficient fly presentation
During a typical session, Students learn the following:
- Health and Safety whilst Fly Casting and Fishing
- Basic and Advanced Fly Casting Principles
- Correct Tackle Selection
- Cast Selection for Various Wind Conditions
- Basic and Advanced Knots
Speycasting
All speycasting instruction takes place on our salmon water on the River Teviot. The Sunlaws beat is mainly double-banked and 1.8 miles long. With access to both banks, students can learn all aspects of double handed casting techniques with right or left hand uppermost. The selection of the correct cast to cover the water not only effectively and but of equal importance, safely.
Single-Hand
Single-handed instruction is based at our well-stocked trout lake, where students learn basic to advanced casting techniques with a single-handed rod including overhead and roll casting as well as the double haul. With nine casting platforms surrounding the facility, the lake is an ideal environment to learn fly casting and fly fishing.
