APGAI / STANIC Qualified Tuition

Fly fishing tuition from a qualified instructor is the ideal way to learn how to fly fish. A fly fishing lesson or course will provide the information and teach the skills necessary for a complete beginner to be able to confidently fly fish and make further progress.

A lesson is also an efficient way for a more experienced fly fisher to improve and develop his skills and knowledge.

A lesson will be tailored to your needs and can include:

• Fly Casting Tuition

  • What is 'Fly Casting' and how it works
  • How to choose the right equipment
  • Equipment assembly and useful knots
  • Roll and overhead casts
  
  
  

• More Advanced Fly Casting Techniques

  • Getting more distance by using the double haul
  • Getting more distance with the roll cast
  • Spey and snake roll casts
  • Presentation casts
  
  

Tuition can be provided for both single and double handed rods

• Fly Fishing Tuition

  • Fly life identification
  • Selecting a suitable fly
  • Techniques for finding the fish
  • Use of presentation casts
  • Retrieving the fly
  • Hooking, playing and landing the fish
  
  
  

Tuition can be a half day lesson, ideal as a 'taster' to introduce a complete beginner to fly fishing. A half day session is also ideal for the more experienced fly fisherman to improve or learn more advanced casting and fly fishing techniques. Catching fish is also on the menu.

We also offer fly fishing courses which can be between one and five days duration depending upon content. Where local accommodation is required, we can provide contact information. If staying locally, we will provide transport to and from the fishery at no additional cost.

We will discuss your requirements with you and adjust our instruction content to best suit your needs. All tackle will be provided if required, you only need to turn up at the chosen venue with suitable clothing, ideally to include boots, hat and of course sunglasses or other eye protection for safety.

After a tuition session, a beginner will have sufficient knowledge to progress further and the more experienced will have improved their fly fishing techniques. You will be advised on how to build on what you have learnt to further improve and develop your fly casting and fly fishing capabilities.

We will always be happy to give further advice by email or phone.
