Sounds like a wonderful opportunity for N.A. anglers! That would be HARD to pass on, epsecially for anyone as the American Cup.

Have you had any thoughts about the class size?

I encourage anyone interested in improving their techniques and 'bag of tricks' on the river or lake to sign up! This is a real once in a life time opportunity to learn the secrets and tricks from two very seasoned European professionals.

Each year after The Cup I have gotten the privilege to fish with Michael and each time the comments he has provided me has improved my game tremendously. Subtle nuances to this and that make the difference on the water between being an average fisherman or that guy that just crushes it all the time!

Tight Lines! JK
