Today I headed back out to the club with the dogs. There was a youth fly fishing lesson going on at the one side; so I decided just to take Fred down for starters. We headed back to the fated corner of the pond. I ran him on a bunch of land marks and blinds first, then tied him up out of sight and set the wheel of bumpers out. This time I opted to move from the white ones to the black and white ones (I don't yet have the confidence for black or orange!). Much to my surprise Fred focused in a lot more and took every line beautifully.
I'm not sure if it was the increased focus on the bumpers since they were harder to see; or if it was the fact that it was just the two of us; but it worked! We didn't have a single mis-step or problem as we ran the exercise one time from each side of the pond.
I'm looking forward to another few days of training, then a trip down to lovely South Carolina for the CBSRC Trial!
