Trout and Grayling Fly-Fishing Tuition and Guiding

I offer High Quality and Friendly Fly-Fishing Instruction and Guiding complete with all Tackle, Equipment and Transport on many Rivers and Stillwaters in the Eastern Scottish Borders.

River Fishing Tuition is normally on The River Whiteadder which is the first tributary of the River Tweed up from the sea and is an ideal size for learning. It is not too daunting a water for beginners but also requires good rivercraft to fool the Wild Brown Trout.

Grayling Tuition is done on the Tweed and Teviot and I have access to private and Association Water.

For Stillwater Tuition I would normally use the Whinney Loch, Coldingham Loch, Glencorse or Sweethope. This can be Bank or Boat Fishing.

I can cater for Novices, Intermediate and Expert Anglers.

I fish to a very high standard and I am Professionally Qualified and Fully Insured.

Subjects covered include,

Safety, Tackle, Dry Fly, Static Nymph, Lure Pulling, Czech Nymphing, High Sticking, Duo and Trio, Double Nymphing, Curly Wurly Indicators, Wang Style, Competition Secrets, Basic Entomology, Cast Construction, Fly Tying and of course Casting.

I can provide anything from a casting tune up to a full multiple day course covering all Fly-Fishing and related subjects.

Prices start at £15 an hour (Minimum 2 Hours)

A full River or Stillwater Day costs £100 plus permit. (£10 to £30)

Half price for second adult. Under 16 free with full adult.
