Flywest are pleased to offer, one on one - hands on, fly casting tuition - from a recognised expert tutor.

Shann is a past member of the PFIGA (Professional Fishing Instructors & Guides Association of Australia), and is a qualified / recognised expert fly casting tutor. Shann has conducted many live in fly casting schools - as well as giving public demonstrations of fly casting at Boat & Fishing shows in Western Australia - alongside such well known fishing identities as Steve Starling, Mike Roennfeldt, Peter Morse, Rod Harrison, Mick Hall to name just a few.

If you want a fast track way to learn to double haul and shoot full length fly lines & shooting heads, then a day spent with Shann will take years off your learning curve.

Shann's son Kelvin has been fly casting since he was old enough to hold a fly rod and similarly - can teach the art of fly casting to anyone needing assistance!

Between them Shann & Kelvin can handle small groups seeking to improve their skills, including fishing clubs members who would prefer a group booking  to reduce individual costs.

For those who want to learn to create their own fly patterns to throw at fish, Shann is only too happy to teach the tricks of fly tying, from fly design and dressing, to the intricacy of  fly tying tools like deer hair stackers, whip finish tools and so on.

Choosing the right materials, researching what fish eat - all these are skills Shann is only too happy to pass on.
Don't miss the opportunity to learn from a Fisheries consultant, the secrets to planning a successful fly fishing trip away for groups.

As the instigator of today's infamous  ongoing 'Boneheads' fly fishing trips in WA, Shann knows that successful trips don't just happen by chance. Learn the finer techniques of planning a successful trip away for your group.
