Fly Fishing Taster Day 2026

  • fishing

  • 2 hrs

  • Max 30 people

Have a go at Fly Fishing with our three qualified instructors. No experience or equipment needed.

Description

On arrival you will be greeted in the fishery lodge which is our base for the day. Tea and coffee will be available and you will be given a voucher for a bacon sandwich which you can use at any time of the day. (Toilets are available) We have three qualified instructors (Tim Joyce, Nigel Angus and Iain Fraser) who can either give you a taste of fly fishing or iron out any bad habits that you may have picked up. No experience or equipment is required, but you are welcome to use your own if you prefer. A hat (baseball) and sunglasses are essential for health and safety (we will provide safety goggles if not) You will be able to spend time with all three instructors. We'd recommend visiting for at least a couple of hours, but the day will be flexible. If you catch a trout and you'd like to take it home to eat there will be an additional charge of this of £7.50 per fish. Spectators are welcome if you'd like to bring the family.

Experienced a great day with Nigel learning the basics of fly fishing. My son's first time fly fishing and with Nigel's excellent tuition we landed some great fish. Highly recommended.
