Simon will then move on to expertly demonstrate presentation and how to catch rainbow trout on nymphs and ultimately... the dry fly. There'll even be a fleeting glimpse of a nice brown trout which embarrassingly for Simon evades final capture! We'll then go to Lenches Lake in Evesham where the inimitable Iain Barr will show us the type of tactics that made him European Champion. Ian will be fishing with a team of three nymphs all the time analysing for us his style of fishing the methods hes using and the reasoning behind his actions.
