Corporate Fly fishing Team building

CORPORATE FLY-FISHING TEAMBUILD OVERVIEW
Corporate Fly fishing Team building aims to provide the discerning corporate client with an life style adventure experience. Whether your company is looking for a fun day out of the office, break away activity for a conference or an objective based team build activity focused on team dynamics or process development. Corporate Fly Fishing team build does not require strength or prior experience. It does require the ability to listen and put into practice the basic techniques that will be shared by our experienced guides. 

CLASSIC HALF DAY TEAM BUILD PACKAGE
Agenda for 2.5 hour activity
Session 1
Brief overview of the history of fly-fishing
Explanation of the equipment
Explanations of eco-friendly fly-fishing practice ie catch and release
Casting lesson and practice
Basic entomology explanation (nb so you can understand how to select the correct flies to fish with)

Session 2
Group divides into teams for two exciting challenges
1) Accuracy casting challenge where each team member has three casts to try and land his fly in a
hoop target. Challenge for individuals but score points for your team.
2) Blind folded casting challenge (relay format):
a) A team member must concentrate on the casting skill that they have learnt to try and cast the fly
into the target zone while blind folded. Taking away the sight sense forces you to rely on your other
senses (ie hearing, touch etc).
b) Use communication skills to assist the member who is blind folded to land the fly in the target
zone.

Session 3
If the venue has a fishing dam then guests will tie on the flies and try to catch a fish. Guides will
assist and help to correct mistakes and provide practical fly-fishing advice. Guests using a venue
without a fishing dam will begin the Trout cook off and wine pairing (if selected)..

2,5 hours

The host will present and demonstrate a variety of methods on how to prepare and cook a rainbow trout. Teams then have an opportunity to prepare and cook their own fish.
