Well actually it’s just one drill which divides into three parts. But it also develops into many other parts as well, as you will see over the next months. I haven’t counted them, but I imagine I use about 60-80 drills in my standard lessons tool box. Possibly more. In short it’s going to be a very busy section on Sexyloops. And quite fun to do – if I can avoid backcasting into stumps. :D
I have a couple of Zoom spots available. I’m getting close to the point I can’t take on board any more. And so I’ll stop mentioning them for a while when this happens. I keep 12 active Zoom students on the go at any one point. More than this and it’s too disruptive to my laid-back flyfishing lifestyle. But I do enjoy them very much and it’s wonderful to see students really progress. It’s definitely the best teaching I’ve ever done for sure.
Today is a town supplies day. This is when I do a weekly washing, purchase important supplies such as petrol, beer and potatoes. And I do my weekly run. It will be an hour and a half run tomorrow. Possibly two hours if I’m feeling good. I want to try something I’ve been hearing triathlon coaches talk about recently which is 9/1. Which means run for 9 minutes and walk fast for one minute and repeat. It will be very interesting to compare times, and far preferable I think, to burning out on an Ironman with a long distance still left to run. As with everything in life – apart from well quite a few things actually –you have to try it.
Fishing at this time of year can be slow here. And this year is as it should be… ie slow. There are Snakehead babies around but hard to find and when you do find them the adults are rising rarely. That’s no problem. In about four weeks time this place will be firing.
For you guys keen to explore Sungai Tiang it should be very fishable now. I’m particularly thinking you guys in Singapore. You should be here this or next month. We are building the website. But do get in touch if you want to book with the Orang Aslis for an unforgettable trip.
Remember this year we have Sexyloops 25 Meet. Message me on WhatsApp +60198549552 or email me paul@sexyloops.com if you are interested. I need an idea of numbers quite quickly. It’s going to be unmissable.
We are very busy at the moment building Sexyloops rods. We have a few rods in stock but most custom orders are now taking 2-3 weeks. Lots of pictures coming shortly. We have a couple of news rods in development too. So that’s exciting!
Have a great day. As always any questions feel free to blast me an email.
Cheers, Paul
