Wels on fly 72 hr session

Wels on fly 72 hr session is a chance for you to try Wels catfish on a fly rod dates August 11th to 14th.
The lake is well stocked with lots of Cats from baby kittens to 130lbs (specimen are anything over 80lbs).
Experience required:– Ideally you will have spent a minimum of 1 season Pike fly fishing or a well established tropical saltwater fly angler. Why? This is due to the rigours of casting heavier rods, how we set hooks & fight the cats.
Cost is £156 per person via BACS or PPal friends/family, You will be fishing along side 6 others on an exclusively booked lake in Norfolk. So we are the only ones fishing it for a solid 72 hrs.

What will you need?
– 12# (Minimum) fast action fly rod, Single handed, NOT a Spey type/2 handed rod.
– 10/12# large arbour reel with a GOOD drag, We recommend a Redington Behemoth
– WF12 Floating compact head type fly line like the Mega High speed or similar to reduce the false casts and cast in tight back cast areas.
