TUITION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting salmon fishing is a confusing business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a beginner you may already know anglers who are kind and well meaning to a novice and very enthusiastic that you should get involved. They happily offer dogmatic and conflicting advice, tell you about experiences which you can not begin to imagine, use words and expressions that mean nothing – and then they wonder why you look baffled. One of them offers to take you fishing, loses patience at the mess you get into and then leaves you alone while they go off and fish by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is many peoples rather off-putting introduction to fishing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill is happy to start at square one, does not expect you to \u2018get it right’ with just a few minutes instruction and progresses at your pace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty years of teaching has given him the experience and ability to pass on skills and enthusiasm while incorporating the essentials of the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be taught about fishing tackle, knots, flies and\/or spinners, different forms of casting including spey and double spey casting depending on conditions and your ability, reading the water, how to play and land a fish, etiquette, conservation, safety\u2026. in fact, what you will need to know to give you the confidence to go fishing by yourself and enjoy catching fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this, while actually fishing and to fitting in with your requirements and arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And \u2013 if your fishing tackle is non existent or inappropriate, Everyman Ghillie Services will provide tackle. Complete quality outfits are available at competitive rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
