All tuition is carried out on a Thursday, Friday or a Saturday at a mutually convenient time.

Fly casting tuition at Syon Park, Middlesex

I carry out hourly, half-day and full-day tuition at Syon Park covering all aspects of fly casting.

My hourly sessions include:

• tuition for complete advanced or beginners in trout fishing
• advanced or beginners salmon speycasting
• double haul saltwater fly casting

My half-day and full-day courses cover:

• fly casting
• fly fishing tackle
• fly fishing techniques
• basic entomology (insect behaviour) and fly patterns used to imitate specific insects.

I am also very happy to provide fly fishing equipment if you’re taking your first steps in game angling, and I’d be delighted to advise on any fishing tackle purchases you may be thinking of making.

Lunch unfortunately cannot be catered for but please feel free to take advantage of the cafe on site or bring along a packed lunch.

Have rod will travel…

I am also more than happy to provide hourly, half day or full day fly casting tuition at a venue to suit you and your guests and at a mutually convenient time. For example I’ve recently taught courses at John O’Gaunts lake in Hampshire.
