The best in Fly Fishing Lessons and Tuition

Well over 100 top quality fly fishing locations around the UK.
We only teach individuals or small groups of family/friends/colleagues – this is much more effective and enjoyable than large group fly fishing “courses” which we do not recommend.

Go Fly Fishing UK provide fly fishing lessons throughout England, Scotland and Wales. We have vastly more location choices than any other UK fly fishing tuition provider. Click here to see a full list of our tuition locations » In its May 2011 edition 'The Field' magazine listed Go Fly Fishing UK as one of the Top 10 fly fishing schools in the UK and it highlighted that we provide 'fishing tuition at 100 venues across the country'.

Our fly fishing tuition days are great fun and the instruction very effective, they take place on first class and often exclusive fly fishing lakes or rivers. All the necessary equipment is supplied including rods, reels, waders, flies etc. These are real exciting fly fishing experiences and for the vast majority of the time tuition is being delivered while our pupils are actually fishing and most people manage to catch a few good Trout during their lesson.

All of our fly fishing instructors are trained to teach fly fishing and all hold nationally recognised fly fishing coaching qualifications and are licenced, insured, CRB checked and have first aid training. Also a number of them are Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Guides. Most of our fly fishing instructors are men but in Hampshire, West Sussex and south west Scotland we have excellent female fly fishing instructors. When choosing who to take your fly fishing lesson with please check that they are trained and qualified instructors - all of our Go Fly Fishing UK instructors are.

Beginners lessons are usually on a one to one basis or with small groups of family or friends and normally take place over a full day although shorter sessions, such as a half-day of tuition, can be arranged. In our experience this is a much better way to learn than in a large group of unknown individuals typical of many fly fishing “courses”. For larger groups of family or friends we provide a minimum of one instructor to every four people.

There is no doubt a fly fishing lesson is a huge shortcut to success and can eliminate months if not years of frustration trying to teach yourself. By starting fly casting using the correct technique will enable most people with a little practice to become a competent caster in a pretty short space of time and to enjoy their fishing more.

For the more experienced fly fisher the emphasis would be on fly fishing techniques and methods and the day would be tailored to their individual requirements. All techniques for both rivers and stillwaters can be taught.
