Any female anglers wishing to join us?
Beginner or any level - if you are interested in trying fly fishing, just curious, or keen to get more fly fishing in - contact and come along and enjoy an activity which will see you spending time in the countryside watching the wildlife and learning a little about the river.
For fly casting instruction in your area look up the websites for:
Game angling instructors Association (GAIC)

With the number of invasive species attacking our rivers, it is an absolute that all participants must ensure clean and dry fishing gear. They must also be in possession of an Environment Agency fishing licence. These can be purchased online for daily, weekly and yearly fishing.
All of the river
fishing days have limits on the numbers that can fish. If we are over
subscribed we will have a reserve list.

This will be on a private beat on the river Dee just outside Corwen. There will be a charge of £20 per rod.

May 9th 2017
Paul Sissons offered us a guided day on the River Don above Sheffield.
Maximum number of 6
We had a full cohort for this event.
This stretch is free fishing. There are quite a few stretches of free river along the Don and also the Rivelin - which is very good for the locals!
The stretch Paul had selected for the fishing and demonstration of nymph fishing was really quite picturesque - woodland with paths through and no litter. The day was very cold for May, which made nymph fishing very relevant.
The river was running low and clear.
After Paul Sissons very good instruction ans support as we fished, we all caught fish (one of Hilarys in pic above)
Thanks to Paul from all of us

River Wye around Monsall
Seven women Tenkara fishing on the wonderful Wye. Fantastic instruction from Dave Southall. An excellent teacher, thanks Dave.
Learning the art of
Tenkara was requested at our meeting in Bakewell. The Wye proved to be an excellent river to test this fast flowing river technique. It was amazingly successful - once you got the casting right!

What a perfect day for trout fishing on the clear water of the Derbyshire Wye. The sun shone, everyone caught fish. Bernie Mahers kick sampling showed us the tiny creatures that live in the river.
Even when not trying to catch fish it was a pleasure to watch them swimming about in the clear water.
