Introductory
Our guided trout fishing days are the perfect way to introduce you to fly fishing. Introductory days are held at a picturesque local Stillwater venue in Northumberland. A typical session will include;
– Introduction to the environment, safety, aims and ethos of fly fishing for trout
– An examination of the equipment used and setting it all up including knots etc
– Casting tuition and practice to include the basic casts required to fish effectively
– Guided fishing from bank and/or boat for brown and rainbow trout
– Coaching and instruction on the different tactics, flies and how to fish them effectively
– Playing and landing a fish and fish welfare
Days can be tailored to suit individual needs and can be shared between small groups of anglers.
Overall the aim is to have a fun day whilst developing sound basic skills that may well develop to become part of a lifelong passion. There’s nothing that can’t be covered and no such thing as a silly question!
