Guiding and tuition

Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced fly fisher, I can organise a day to suit your needs.

For the beginner - Fly fishing is a fantastic sport and a great way to relax but like any other sport, without proper guidance, it can be frustrating for the beginner - a day with me will set you off on the right track, we will cover :
  • Safety on the water
  • Tackle - choosing a balanced outfit, leaders etc.
  • Casting
  • Rivercraft
  • Basic fishing techniques


Fly fishing taster days or tuition can be arranged at New Mills Trout Farm 'A fish is hooked at New Mills'


A typical fly fishing taster day at New Mills will consist of :

  • An introduction to a working Trout Farm

  • What the fish feed on in the wild and a fly tying session to imitate that food

  • Safety on the water
  • Tackle - choosing a balanced outfit, leaders etc.
  • Casting
  • Putting what you've learnt into practice and catching your first fish

Hopefully you will finish the day having caught your first fish
and hooked on a sport that will provide you with a lifetime of enjoyment.

Geoff with Richard Hold


For the more advanced - as a guide I can offer you the benefit of over 30 years experience of fishing the rivers and lakes of the area or if you want to hone your skills I can teach you some of the more advanced techniques that should improve your catch rate and add to your enjoyment of this great sport :

  • Rivercraft - approaching fish, reading the river etc.
  • Dry Fly Techniques
  • Upstream Nymph
  • Fishing North Country Spiders - Upstream and Down
  • Czech Nymphing

 


Important note :
Don't forget your fishing licence -
Any angler aged 12 years or over will need an Environment Agency rod licence, daily, weekly or seasonal licences are available at post offices or online at :
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/subjects/fish/399730/



On occasions, due to unforeseen circumstances we may have to cancel our day on the river at short notice but we may be able to go to a nearby stillwater or rearrange for another day
