mnm Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Let me introduce you guys to Francois Blanchet ( Frankyb). 29 yrs. old who is FFF certified .He is a fun energetic instructor, who preaches minimizing your effort while casting. And adapting your casting to your body.He teaches all aspects of flyfishing but casting two handed rods is his "speycialty". He is known as a clean and stylish underhand caster which he calls "scanadian". His species of choice to target are Atlantic Salmon, Trout, and wild Steelhead. His guiding areas ranges from Quebec's Gaspe peninsula to the southwestern BC, and the steelhead streams in the Skeena River system and is constantly exploring remote rivers such as the streams in the Queen Charlottes. he also done some fishing in Rio Gallegos in Argentina. He is also looking to fill some winter guiding days on the Yakoun in the Queen Charlottes, tho he is sold out on the Bulkley this fall. This is a guy ,who sometimes fishes with hookless flies. "There is nothing like watching fish smacking a fly aggressively and releasing it without hurting itself" His course is a full day including most of the Loop rods from single hand to double hand. Also bring your own its important to Franky that people can cast their own set up or at least let him make sure it is a match. You will start the day with single handed casts followed by the two handed rod in every style of casting. Every aspect of casting will be covered: changes of direction, the use of sink tips, the presentation, proper line management, adapting your casting to your body, distance casting and of course how to make it look good with no effort. Courses are for 7 guests. Lets sell this course completely out and learn from one of the smoothest casters you will ever meet. The course will be in the first week of August so get a hold of Frank at frank@outdoorsportcanada.com or call Southbow @ 403 873 0744 or email the shop mike@southbow.ca Quote
