Devon School of Fly Fishing

Really fantastic time exploring parts of the world you'd otherwise never get to - or even know existed - and always some good fish. I've been with Devon School of Fly Fishing on big rivers, tiny streams, on moors, in gorges, in valleys, on estuaries. Never another angler in sight and always great company. Highly recommended for memories you'll never forget even for those most experienced angler. Beginners will just want to fish more and more!

My girlfriend and I booked onto the beginners fly fishing lesson as we were down here on holidays. With very limited to no fly fishing experience our guide Gerald was more than accommodating and was able to show us both how to cast even with it being my girlfriends first ever time holding a fishing rod. I cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone who wants to give fly fishing a go. What an amazing day out.

What a wonderful day! My partner and I booked on with Gerald for a fly fishing lesson yesterday and he was an amazing teacher. From initial contact to the day of the experience Gerald kept us up to date with the weather reports and where would be best to fish. I have never fished before and Gerald was very good at teaching me the basics and being patient with me. Meanwhile my partner has fished before and Gerald was able to help him improve his techniques. We throughly enjoyed our day out and would recommend it to anyone who fancies giving fly fishing a go!

For anyone looking to put the feelers out for fly fishing, Devon School of Fly Fishing is the place to go! Pete and Emma we're amazingly friendly and accommodating throughout the booking process, and Jim and Tom were fantastic instructors on the day. Booked for a Dads and Lads day out, we had an awesome day learning new skills, and although we totally failed at applying them, Jim and Tom were patient and complimentary throughout the entire day. Thank you so much everyone! Fish on!

If you have never fly fished before or want proper coaching I cannot reccomend the Devon school enough. Gerald talked us through various techniques and supplied a range of equipment which fitted us all well. Wading through the middle of the beautiful Exe right up to our midriffs was a wonderful experience in itself. Gerald knew all the best fishing spots and had an encyclopedic knowledge of the flora and fauna of British rivers. He made sure we all caught a fish or three and I can honestly say there is something magical about the experience. When you do catch them, in the moment of the elation the colours seen to stand out more so than, say, looking at fish in a tank. I would recommend this to anyone who is mildly interested in fishing because you will be hooked at the end of it! Good on you Gerald for what you do and being an all round good egg!
