ABOUT FLYFISHING
The Mavungana Flyfishing experience.
Flyfishing instruction for individuals and corporate groups.
Flyfishing is the fastest growing participant sport
in the world. It allows people to escape to the most
beautiful surroundings in the world where trout are
found.
The art of casting is so intricate that it is
never truly mastered, hence trying for the perfect
presentation of the fly is the most
distracting thing imaginable, allowing the mind to
truly cleanse itself of day to day worries. It is also
the
greatest leveler; someone with superior intellect,
strength or height for instance, never has an advantage.
For this reason it is the ideal corporate experience
as secretaries and Managing Directors now compete
on the same level! If everything
goes according to plan and one catches a fish, it
will
turn out to be one of the most memorable experiences
of ones life, stirring the hunting spirit in all
of us, yet resulting in the fish being carefully returned
to live another day.
How we teach flyfishing:
Groups of two to forty two people at a time can be
handled at once. The course involves a very entertaining
while informative introductory
talk lasting about fifteen minutes, followed by
a casting demonstration, laying down the basic theoretical
principles,
lasting also about fifteen minutes. Then the group
is broken up into manageable teams and are distributed
around the various lakes with their own equipment
and
instructor.
No flies are used at first and the basic concept of
fly-casting is soon mastered through the personnel attention
and the renowned
REFFIS
teaching method. As the instructors identify keen
and able newly born flyfisher people they progress
onto tying on their own flies and attempting to
fool the
trout. Within half an hour most people will
be controlling the line confidently and will also have
been taught
various aspects of reading the water, being
able
to make the right selection of fly and hopefully
once everything
goes according to plan, how to hook, land and
release their first fish!
Above all the morning is designed to be entertaining
and fun while at the same time teaching a new and very
challenging skill.
We often incorporate a fun competition
into the session.
We travel to any venues, as well as book with renowned
country lodges. For cheaper options, we have reputable
self catering
accommodation
in the village and then
use our own waters. We tailor make weekends and days specifically for
the clients needs, river fishing for more advanced
fishermen, targeting specific fish species
at more exotic and remote locations, waterside picnics, competitions
with
a variety of themes including prizes for the largest
fish, a tagged fish and novelty categories
including the likes of style, dress or lack of ability! For more information click here.
