Good evening guys , I'm sure everyone is aware that John Milne has stood down as Fly Fishing Instructor for the Foundation.
John taught over 80 kids during a 8 year period and 15 of the Foundation kids went on to fish for our national team.
The Foundation will be forever greatfull for John's tutelage and all the hard work he and his wife June put in over the years , we wish John all the best in whatever he does in the future.
The Foundation will continue albeit in a different direction , we will now support a angling charity of our choice.
Myself and the Foundation board ( Scott Young , William Kelly and Neil Guild ) would just like to thank everyone who made the last 8 years possible .

Fynn and Billy from the John McCann Fishing Foundation did really well today during their lesson at Haddockston Water this morning. The boys worked hard on a few methods with offers coming frequently to beetles, suspender buzzers and Dynamite Harry. The highlight of the session was a magnificent 6/7lbs rainbow caught by Fynn on a white suspender minkie. He did really well as this fish tore loads of line from the reel. A personal best for sure.

Great fishing at Haddockston Water this morning for the boys from the John McCann Fishing Foundation. A light easterly didn't put the fish off and the boys enjoyed lots of sport. The front,bottom left and far left bank had lots of eager fish. Once again their behaviour and effort was exemplary. The boys were presented with fish catching flies donated by Friends of the Foundation Andrew Caitens and David Fisher

That was a great wee day teaching four lads from the John McCann Fishing Foundation at Haddockston Water. Jason was on great form casting great distances with complete control , Cameron caught the first of the day, Billy picked up the buzzer tactics easily and Mason cast further than he has in the past. Buzzers, squirmies and an Ally McCoist fished deep all did well. The manners, behaviour and effort was exemplary once again. The boys were presented with vices from David Fullerton and fantastic flies from Andrew Caitens .
