One Day Introduction to Trout Fly Fishing for One

Get to grips with trout fly fishing on a one-day foundation course led by a qualified instructor, ideal for novices or anyone returning after a break. You'll cover tackle set-up, fly lines, knots and tippets, then practise overhead, roll and shooting-the-line casts. Discover fly selection and tactics on a lake stocked with brown, rainbow and rare blue trout, learning to hook and land a fish. With expert tuition throughout, confidence will build quickly. If a fish bites, it can be taken home.
