Description

We should never stop learning – and in fly fishing especially, we’re never done.

This week we hear from Packy Trotter a life long fly angler, guide and instructor who epitomises the spirit of teaching and learning in the sport.

STANIC and APGAI qualified, Packy then travelled to the Catskills where he took the FFF certified and FFF masters qualifications becoming, at that time, only the second person in their history to pass both exams at the one session.

Suffice to say, there’s plenty we can learn from Packy
