This is an important year for Sexyloops and we turn 25 on September 22nd. The next big planned event will be in another 25 years and who knows where that one will be held, so it’s a great idea to attend this one. It will be held here in Malaysia on 23rd and 24th of September.
Also I plan to run a few courses here in Belum/Temenggor this year. An Intermediate/Advanced flycasting course as well as Learn to Fly Fish Weekends.
For the flycasting improvers' weekend we are looking for 10 students staying over for the weekend at Belum Rainforest Resort. We will hone your core techniques as well as cover important casts in Malaysia, such as the Snakehead Shot and the Gourami Shot. Over the weekend you will have plenty of one on one instruction time.
For the beginners’ Learn to Fly Fish weekends, we will cover the full range of skills required to fly fish, including fly casting (of course!), fly tying, knots, tackle, playing and handling fish, safety, fish behaviour and how to find and approach them, with particular emphasis on fly fishing in Malaysia.
For the Sexyloops 25 Meet I will arrange a House Boat to take us into Royal Belum for a 5 day fishing trip before and possibly after the weekend event. The event itself will involve flycasting presentations, workshops, flytying, competitions and fishing presentations. I plan for the attendance of both International visitors as well as Malaysians. I think this will be quite a weekend!! After all, unless you are Lars, you are only 25 once!
If you are interested in any of these then please send me an email on paul@sexyloops.com or WhatsApp me on +60198549552 and I will add you to the list and keep you informed. I really need to get a handle on numbers, particularly for Sexyloops 25, ASAP! There are no travel restrictions to Malaysia now incidentally and haven’t been since September last year.
Sungai Tiang should be open to fly fishing guests in 1-2 weeks. We had some heavy rain this week which will have discoloured the river but the Dry Season should very soon be upon us. And then it all happens!!
Have a great day!
Cheers, Paul
