Private Fly Fishing Lessons

Personalised Fly Fishing Instruction — Built Around You

Fly fishing rewards patience, curiosity, and good guidance. For many people, the challenge isn’t interest — it’s time.

Our Private Fly Fishing Lessons are designed for anglers who want a focused, efficient introduction to fly fishing, or who wish to refine specific skills without the noise of a group environment. Whether you’re starting from scratch or returning to the water after time away, these sessions are shaped entirely around you.

You’ll learn faster, retain more, and leave with a clearer understanding of both the how and the why behind fly fishing.

Learn From Experience — Not a Script

With more than 30 years of guiding and teaching, our instruction is grounded in real rivers, real trout, and thousands of days on the water.

There’s no rigid curriculum and no unnecessary theory. Instead, we focus on what matters most for your fishing:

• Clean, repeatable casting

• Effective line and fly control

• Understanding trout behaviour

• Reading water with confidence

• Making calm, deliberate decisions on the river

The goal isn’t to overwhelm you — it’s to give you a solid foundation that continues to pay dividends long after the lesson ends.

What We Cover (Tailored to You)

Each private lesson is adapted to your experience level and objectives, but typically includes:

• Fly casting fundamentals and fault correction

• Rod, reel, line and leader selection

• Trout behaviour and seasonal patterns

• Reading rivers, lakes, and moving water

• Fly choice and a practical introduction to entomology

• Line management, presentation and streamcraft

• Hooking, playing and landing trout efficiently

• River etiquette and on-water safety

If you want to focus on a specific skill — casting accuracy, dry fly presentation, nymphing fundamentals, or river reading — we simply build the session around that.

This format suits:

• Busy professionals

• Couples or friends learning together

• Returning anglers wanting a reset

• Beginners who prefer a quieter, more personal environment
