I especially enjoy working with children and inexperienced fishermen. I teach them how to treat the fish they catch with respect, induce minimal harm while handling it, and return it to the water unscathed. The nature of these expeditions is purely educational, so ethical conduct is paramount. I am very adaptive and take pride in my ability to impart knowledge in a calm and focused manner and in a digestible format.

I was inspired by one of my heroes, Charles Jardine, and his Fishing for Schools project. Let`s give the young generation a chance to do something interesting and thrilling apart from swiping on their phones and playing computer games. There is a real world out there, and it is magnificent! It’s much better than anything ever seen on a screen.
Despite all the difficulties last year (2021), I organized a fly fishing school and other outdoor activities, which took 5 days. Boys and girls from 11th grade had their chance to learn to cast a fly rod to catch rainbow trout in a lake and wild brown trout in a river. There was also daily rafting, climbing, and foraging for mushroom activities. It was an intensive week, and everyone learned something new and sensational.
I also organized or participated in a few more fly fishing schools for kids, bringing me positivity and joy.
I will most certainly continue to organize and participate in future fly fishing school projects. Follow this webpage for Mankov Fly Fishing School dates and details in future years.
