          Guide’s comment :<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”80″ align=”left” margin_top=”0″][vc_column_text]It doesn\u2019t take an entire lifetime to become a proficient fly angler. Three days of intensive training will usually allow anyone interested to help you master the basics and to individually progress from there.
          \nIt is, however, not quite possible to memorize and learn all the above mentioned knowledge as a matter of days.
          \nThis is one of the charming aspects of fly fishing: there is, however, so much to learn about technique, species and tricks that an entire lifetime is not enough to learn it all.
          \nAfter over 40\u00a0years of avid angling, I keep learning something new each time I venture out on the water or when meeting fellow anglers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_divider style=”padding_space” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”80″ align=”left” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_video link=”http:\/\/youtu.be\/sXI8mrqkPgc”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_blockquote font_family=”Oswald” font_type=”google” align=”right”]On the water, rod in hand, there is always something new to learn, to discover and to observe: it\u2019s what makes fly fishing so magical.[\/mk_blockquote][mk_divider style=”padding_space” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”80″ align=”left” margin_top=”0″][vc_column_text]\n
