I have always been drawn to fly-fishing than to other styles of fishing and have considered it something that I could possibly take to in the future. Managing operations for the Himalayan Outback has over the years given me the pleasure of being in the company of many internationally acclaimed anglers, which has been very inspiring.

In February of 2009 while we were informed of a fly-fishing course for the fishing guides and enthusiasts within the staff of the Himalayan Outback; I was quick to show interest and enrolled in the course which was to be hosted by Blake McHenry from the federations on fly-fishers, and who is also a recognized Alaska guide. Over the duration of the course we were to find out just what it takes to be a good fly-fisher, and a good guide, who can put clients onto fish, especially in challenging fisheries like the Golden Himalayan Mahseer.
