Personal course touch

Because this course now includes family fishing photos, it is a nice idea to keep a simple record of special trips, children’s first fish, places visited and what made a day memorable.

Over time your notes about weather, tide, bait, river flow, moon phase, water clarity and successful methods become one of your best learning tools.
