Qualifications & Experience
On the Water
Coaching happens where it matters — on the bank, with a rod in your hand and the water in front of you. That is where casting, reading conditions, and fishing come together.
Whether you are at a premier stillwater like Bewl or exploring river and lake venues across the South East, sessions are built around real fishing situations — not just drills on grass.
You get calm, practical guidance at your pace: from tidy loops and distance to choosing flies, reading the water, and putting a cast where the fish are.
- —Lessons and guided days tailored to your goals and ability.
- —Experience drawn from years of instructing at top UK venues.
- —A relaxed, professional atmosphere so you can focus and enjoy the day.
