THE FOLLOWING IS IN RED TYPE TO STRESS IT'S IMPORTANCE
Take a minute on my FAQ page as this will help your and my planning.
It is always preferable that the fisherman/woman make contact with me rather than an intermediary.
PLEASE BE OPEN, HONEST AND REALISTIC ABOUT YOUR FLY-FISHING LEVEL, I'VE NO PROBLEM GUIDING BEGINNERS OR IMPROVING FLYFISHERS BUT DO LET ME KNOW YOUR SKILL LEVEL AS THIS HELPS DECIDE LOCATIONS WE USE AS WELL AS DURATION OF YOUR DAY.
Generally, IF YOU'VE DONE 1- 20 FULL DAYS + INSTRUCTN = BEGINNER, 20-50 FULL DAYS = IMPROVER, 50-100 FULL DAYS = EXPERIENCED, 100+FULL DAYS = VERY EXPERIENCED
ALSO BEAR IN MIND...
Fly-fishing is a skilful pursuit, good fly-fishing more so, controlled, precise and delicate presentation of upstream dryfly or nymph is the ultimate. There's a massive difference between entry-level fly-fishing across or downstream and advanced fly-fishing upriver. 22 years guiding experience informs me that the majority of clients underestimate our rivers and overestimate their skill level, our rivers and fish are natural and wild so along with good fly-fishing skills a fair degree of fitness and wading ability is also desirable.
