you for a great day and for the "rod in my

should like to say that I have been very
impressed with the way you have handled my
enquiry. You have been quick, efficient,
actually answered all my questions helpfully
when we spoke and you explain everything clearly
in good written English. That level
of service is pretty rare and I really
appreciate it. If your tuition is half as good
as your administration we are in for a real
treat.’ and after

good time and all three of us really enjoyed

River
Wye Wales, short-break with guided fly fishing
days – October 2005
‘Kim’s enthusiasm for the sport is boundless and
this gave confidence to an angler like me
who was relatively new to the fly sport.
On the second day,
despite poor conditions, I caught
Grayling to over 2lbs
(see picture). I enjoyed Kim’s company
both on the riverbank, and when recounting
fishing experiences and learning to tie flies in
the hotel bar, and would recommend the
experience to anyone.’
