Throwing nice tight loops won't get you far fishing locally.

most of the fishers I know learned to fish in the burn and river, had anyone had got lessons it wouldn't have been much use to them for the fishing they done, a lot of self taught went on to be very successful anglers not necessarily the best casters.

I might well be wrong I'll happily stand corrected but I don't think an instructor can help an individual to fish the likes without considerable money outlay.
I wouldn't mind a few lessons but I don't think there essential to success.
