I'll teach you all the necessary skills you'll need to be a good fly fisherman. I'll help you make the right choices when it comes to fly fishing equipment. I'll guide you through setting up the rod, tying a range of knots for leaders and flies, deciding what is the safest and best location on the lake for fishing, and hopefully to catch fish!
I teach on a beautiful moorland lake in North Wales, surrounded by wonderful mountain scenery. The area is not that well known so it is very peaceful, and the fishing there is superb.
I supply all the fishing equipment needed; waders, rods, reels, lines, leaders and flies. All you need to bring with you is some warm, waterproof clothing, a packed lunch and a £4 license purchased from the Post Office. I have tea and coffee making facilities in my campervan, as well as a fridge for your lunch.
So, what are you waiting for? Let's get out there!

What to expect from me
I adopt a process of coaching known as EDIC.
This is a simple way of teaching that really works.
I explain

I demonstrate
We'll have a chat about what you already know, and I'll talk you through the equipment we'll be using and how to use it properly. As it's one-to-one, we can go at your own pace.
We'll try some fly casting on land before heading down to the water, so you have time and space to get a feel for it. I'll be there with you every step of the way to guide you.

I correct
We'll get kitted up and head down to the water when you're ready, where I'll give you some more detailed casting guidance now that you'll actually be using a fly with a hook.
By now you're fly fishing! I'll be there to help you make adjustments to fine tune your technique. You'll feel relaxed surrounded by nature, and hopefully even catch a fish!
