Tide Times
THE FOLLOWING IS IN RED TYPE TO STRESS IT'S IMPORTANCE
It's always preferable that the fisherman/woman make contact with me rather than an intermediary.
Take a minute on my FAQ page as this will help your and my planning.
PLEASE BE HONEST & REALISTIC ABOUT YOUR FLY FISHING LEVEL,AS THIS HELPS DECIDE WHERE WE FISH AND THE OPTIMUM DURATION OF YOUR SESSION.
NB-Generally, IF YOU'VE DONE 1- 20 FULL DAYS + INSTRUCTION = BEGINNER 20-50 FULL DAYS = IMPROVER, 50-100 FULL DAYS = EXPERIENCED
In high summer (June-Sept) water levels get low, rivers get weeded and fly fishing is challenging even for the best, so it might be preferable to opt for a half-day rather than full day session unless one is a master in upstream presentation of dry-fly or nymph. I use a tidal stretch of the river Maigue to overcome low water levels by fishing the ebb tide, thus avoiding cancellations. Starting times are subject to tide times however.
