Fishing tuition and instruction - fly fishing lessons

Fishing instructor - Fly fishing lessons, fly casting instruction & tuition

Spey cast, overhead casting, Underhand casts, single and double handed fly casting instruction and tuition for individuals and groups. Fishing courses, schools and clinics for trout and salmon fly fishing. You don't have to be an expert fly caster to be a good or successful angler, there are many examples of anglers of poor technical expertise who catch their share of fish. Also there are those who are highly competent in the technical aspects of fly fishing but fail to convince their customers - the fish! In both cases quality instruction will improve fishing results and with that, satisfaction and enjoyment for the angler. Fly fishing is a vast subject and none of us will ever know it all. That is why it is so interesting, exciting and unpredictable.

One of the words that you will hear time and time again in fishing conversations is experience, a very important asset that an instructor must possess if he or she is to be able to take a balanced view in giving advice to others. Experience is the foundation of all knowledge and for instance you will seldom hear an experienced angler pass on knowledge using the words "always" or "never". Near certainties may exist in fishing, but absolute certainties are not part of my fishing experience. And that experience extends to well over 40 years, from the time that I was a small boy listening to my father with intent as he passed down his fishing experiences. Knowledge grows quickly from a firm base with an expert tutor but for a fly fisherman the quest for knowledge is unending. After all that time, after APGAI, AAPGAI Master and FFF Master certifications after teaching and demonstrating at the highest level, after landing several thousand Atlantic salmon, countless trout and other species, after inventing some of the World's most used salmon flies. What do I know? I know that nobody will ever know it all and having discussed the volume of angling knowledge as a subject with many of my fishing friends from around the Globe many of whom are truly experts the consensus of opinion is that we are happy with our sport being this way because we can never stop thinking.

What my customers say

Just a quick note to thank you once again for a very enjoyable and useful session this morning. You have a natural and easy manner and this no doubt helps your pupils relax and hopefully remember most of what you teach on the day. I certainly feel more confident and am now looking forward to putting the things I learned today into practice. - John Munro
