MIKE HERITAGE – Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom

Mike Heritage is an International Federation of Fly Fishers Master Certified Fly Casting Instructor (MCCI).
He is on the committee of the British Fly Casting Club (BFCC) and has held and still holds various club distance records. Mike also competes in various distance casting competitions throughout Europe. His expert casting input was crucial in the development of the Tachyon Competition series.
“Initially my resurgent interest in fly casting was trying to blast a five weight line to the horizon. I still try to do that but since I decided to become an instructor I have developed a more rounded appreciation of all types of single-handed fly casting and it would be my pleasure to help you take your first steps on the fly casting ladder or help you climb even higher by adding a few feet to your existing cast. If you don’t already fly fish and don’t have any tackle I will provide it for the lesson. The only thing you need to bring with you are sunglasses, a peaked cap, shoes suitable for (maybe) wet grass and a sense of humour.”
Mike is based in Ashford, Kent and can be emailed at heritageathome@btinternet.com
