Every wonder how Loop designs great Rods??? Meet Eoin Fairgrieve

Eoin is a fully qualified casting member of the Association of Advanced Professional Game Angling Instructors (A.A.P.G.A.I) and World Team Speycasting Champion. At the age of 24, Eoin became one of the youngest ever instructors to qualify in both the A.A.P.G.A.I trout and salmon disciplines and has been professionally teaching fly casting and fly fishing for almost twenty years. Eoin began working as a salmon guide on the famous Makerstoun beat of the River Tweed in 1988, before starting up his teaching practice in 2001 to concentrate on casting instruction and education on the Tweed system. He specialises mainly in teaching modern speycasting techniques in a relaxed and friendly environment at his Centre of Excellence. His teaching philosophy revolves around creating a relaxed and comfortable environment for the student to realise his/her full casting potential. Eoin’s intention is to give the caster an understanding of the fundamental principles of each aspect of fly casting and how they relate to more energy efficient fly presentation.
