YORKSHIRE DALES FLY FISHING

FLY FISHING TUITION & FLY FISHING LESSONS IN THE
YORKSHIRE DALES

Fly fishing is a complex sport and it can take many years of experience to grasp most aspects. The learning process can be accelerated with fly fishing tuition and instruction from a suitably Qualified Fly Fishing Instructor. Fly fishing instruction not only helps you learn faster, but more importantly, you will learn the correct techniques and therefore not slip into bad habits right from the start. I provide fly fishing tuition in all aspects of fly fishing and fly casting and I have listed below many of the areas where you might feel you could do with some instruction. This list is not exhaustive and if you feel that you want to receive fly fishing tuition in something not listed please contact me to discuss your requirements.

All fly fishing lessons and courses take place in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, on the river or at a local stillwater. You may have your own favourite piece of water that you wish to use for fly fishing instruction in the Yorkshire Dales and I am happy to visit you to give advice and tuition. All fly fishing tuition is given on a one to one basis. I prefer to work this way so that I can give you my full and undivided attention. This will give you the best chance of success and give me more time to teach you the art of fly fishing and fly casting. However, if you want to bring along friends or relatives to make up a small group you are welcome to do so. Fly fishing instruction can last from 2 hours to a full day or longer, it's your choice. If you want more general fly fishing tuition you might want to consider one of my fly fishing courses.

Hourly fly fishing instruction - £30 per hour (minimum 2 hours)

Fly Fishing Gift Certificates can be used for all fly fishing tuition - Is your friend or relative struggling with certain aspects of their fly fishing or fly casting? Why not treat them to a few hours of fly fishing instruction?

Here are a few suggestions where fly fishing tuition might prove useful:

• Fly fishing instruction in all aspects of fly fishing.



• Fly casting lessons - cast better, cast further, cast more accurately, lose those bad flycasting habits, learn new fly casting skills including, the double haul, Spey casts and snake roll. Improve your fly casting technique by improving your foundation casts - the overhead cast and roll cast. Learn to cast better in wind.

• River fly fishing tuition - convert from stillwater fly fishing. Instruction in fly line management on rivers, river fly fishing techniques including, upstream dry fly fishing, downstream dry fly fishing, upstream nymph, Czech nymphing, wet fly fishing (north country spider fishing), duo and trio methods.
  Anything and everything to do with river fly fishing.

• Czech Nymph Masterclass - spend some time learning to fish the deadly Czech nymph (or bugging). You'll be amazed at its effectiveness and the places where you can catch trout and grayling. Read what some of my guests had to say about Czech nymphing. In addition to Czech nymphing practically you will learn about the flies used, suitable tackle, leader make-up, rivercraft, detecting the take and minor tactics of Czech nymphing.

• Stillwater fly fishing tuition - do others always catch more fish? Successful stillwater fly fishing depends on many things, not least good fly casting ability, but also being able to use many different fly fishing techniques and adapting them to the conditions. I can teach you to fish with dry flies, emergers, nymphs (including indicator fishing, or the 'bung' as it is also known), wet flies and lures to improve your catch rate. Learn how to 'read' a stillwater to help your decision where and how to fish.

• Mentoring for Instructors and future instructors - as an advanced (APGAI) instructor I am able to mentor existing STANIC/L1CCA/L2CCA fly fishing instructors for advancement to APGAI level. I can also coach and mentor anglers who want to become a fly fishing instructor with no previous experience.

I give out high quality handouts with all fly fishing instruction and fly fishing lessons which will serve for many years as a useful source of reference.
