Elite Fly Fishing School

I had four two-hour lessons with Brian, and I cant recommend him enough. From absolutely no experience Im now confident enough to take myself fishing, although when I notice bad habits creeping in Ill definitely return to Brian to fix them. He took me through everything I needed to know, including tying flies onto the line and setting up my rod, and various casting methods to deal with multiple weather conditions. His calm and patient coaching style meant that each lesson he advanced my knowledge and skills, and he recognised when I needed to change or tweak something and his tips instantly helped. His genuine enthusiasm is infectious and we were both beaming when I caught my first trout, even recommending the right wine to pair it with! Fly-fishing and teaching are two very different skills, and Brian has mastered both.

After just 2 lessons with Brian, I now have the confidence that my time won't be wasted on the river. Having never held a salmon rod before meeting Brian within minutes he had me casting out a line to my surprise and delight. Brian has an easy and relaxed approach to teaching which means you improve quickly, as well as teachning the mechanics of the cast Brian also adds an abundance of tips and hints that dispells many myths and means you have a much better understanding of the art of the spey cast and how and when to adapt. I can not recommend Brian Highly enough.

Brian was very patient with a newbie caster and shared some great tips in a short time that really give me confidence that I can develop a reliable and effortless cast. Good company and a great location! Thanks, Brian

Brian is a miracle worker! With minimal prior experience on my part, after two hours he had me fly casting a variety of ways (back-handed, overhead, roll, double haul, into the wind, down wind, across the wind) with increasing confidence (and distance!). He also taught me the four basic knots I need to attach rod to fly. I am now ready to go fishing and its really up to me to get out there. No excuses. Brian is also an extremely nice man; good company and with endless patience.
