Equipment and extras
Relax! All the equipment you could possibly require can be supplied by me for your use during the tuition or guiding session.
After a tuition session you have the option of buying the equipment that you have been using. I have put together a top quality outfit which will save you time and money in the long run. So often I hear people say they have bought an outfit for hundred's of pounds and find this doesn't meet their need's after a short while, purchasing incorrect tackle is frustrating and costly. So I have overcome this by sourcing my own range of fly rod's and reel's, tried and tested by me, for a price of £195, which also includes, a spare tip for your fly rod should you damage it, 2 spare spool's, fly line, backing, leader and fly box with 12 of the most successful still water pattern's you will need.
Post and packing is £15.00 to any UK address.
The rod is a 9' 4pc 6wt supplied in a cordura tube, just the right size to fit into a suitcase when you travel abroad on a fly fishing adventure.
My goal is to set you on the road to becoming a successful fly fisherman, and with my guidance this can be achieved in a very short time.
Of course if you have your own equipment you are welcome to use it, should it be unsuitable in my opinion for the fishing being undertaken my equipment is available.
Although I do supply waders, I do not provide wet weather gear, so please take the conditions into account when you plan to visit, see my links page for local weather.
I do sell all the sundries associated with fly fishing, and you can purchase them from me at the time, or afterwards via my website, the list includes nets, floatants, sinkant, leaders, tippet and much more!
Flies
- To supplement this I sell fly selections, these are tried and tested selections, and personal favourites of mine which will cover every fishing situation you encounter, be it on a small stream or large reservoir.
- I believe that 12 different patterns are the minimum, additional flies can be purchased from me to supplement your stock should you require them.
- These flies are personally tied by me, only top quality hooks and materials are used, these include Partridge hooks, and the finest capes available, Hoffman and Metz.
- Equally important, they are perfectly proportioned, and well tied, so many shop bought flies are bulk produced in a third world country, over dressed, and disintegrate after the first session. Worse still, the hooks can straighten!
- I can supply these in a threader fly box, see the picture above.
- I can tie any pattern to order, just let me know your requirements and I will get on it straight away.
- I produce framed flies which look beautiful hanging on any wall, see the photograph above for an example.
- To remind you of your fishing visit, I can provide you a framed picture of you with the fish you caught, and the actual fly you caught it on!
See my fees page for the prices of flies, fly box selections and framed flies/pictures.
