If you are a beginner to fishing on the chalkstreams you will need certain skills to increase your chances of catching wary trout - booking a guide can therefore make all the difference to your experience. 

​

Learning to present a fly delicately, with minimum impact from your casting, is the optimum skill required to mastering stealth on the riverbank. By having a guide with you throughout the day, you will learn: good line management techniques; an understanding of trout behaviour; an understanding of fly recognition, as the seasons change throughout the year. 

​

Seasoned anglers will also benefit from a guide for the day with the chance to learn more advanced casting techniques and a deeper understanding of how to catch tricky fish on more difficult days.
