Fishing for Forces - Reading

Farlows & Sportfish Reading hosted Fishing for Forces with a great day of fly fishing. A challenging day all round with trout proving very elusive.   However , 35 anglers battled it out for a highly enjoyable day. 

Local instructors and guides including a great group from GAIA travelled from far and wide, providing welcome support and guidance throughout the day. 

Lunch, an impressive hog roast, was a welcome sight following a tough morning of fishing but spirits were soon raised as Chris Tarrant joined the group and presentations.  

Another excellent day organised by Bill Howell.

Talking the wounded to the water...

'Nano Tech' by Snowbee

Nano , Nano!   no,  not a re-run of Mork and Mindy.... !!!
This nano is the new GEO 'Nano Technology' from Snowbee, if you have not tried one,  then I suggest you do at the next opportunity.
While fishing a group of beginners, I had the chance to try the rod during a lunch break. The first thing that stood out was the effortless ability to deliver a straight precise line. So light and balanced it is a rod that you could simply cast and cast with.  Next is the quality of the rod, finished to a very high standard the beautiful gunmetal grey and matching whips are finely presented and when the 4 sections connect (with the aid of dot to dot) you have a fantastic casting tool.
Snowbee suggest the blank to be as close to 'unbreakable' in normal use as possible and frankly with the feel of this rod I believe them.  So impressive, I bought the 6wt the very next day. (The rod you won't want to put down) !!!
