Hi Gareth,

Just got my flies. Absolutely thrilled with them, astounding craftsmanship, they make my existing fly collection look very amateur! I'm not even sure I want to put them near water! Thank you so much for the fantastic service!

Gareth, thanks for yesterday morning, I learned loads and would recommend you to anyone. The best money I've ever spent on fishing!

See you again soon.

Hi Gareth,

Just sending you some photos of the grayling Henry caught on Sunday using the flies you tied for us, He had over twenty grayling to 2.5lb.!! The killer combination being the Klinkhamer Special (#16) and the Bead-Head Gold-Ribbed Hare’s Ear (#16) fished New Zealand-style! Both flies where readily taken by the grayling at any time! His best run was four grayling in four casts!

We both had a great day which was made a lot easier using your great flies!!

Thanks again,

All the best Adam & Henry.

When Gareth took me fishing he taught me how to set up the rod and how to cast. Using a fly that Gareth had made himself, he showed me the best places to fish and the best way to cast. Under his instruction I caught my first fish (a brown trout) and it was brilliant! I really enjoyed my day with Gareth, he was very patient and I learned loads from him. I can’t wait to go again.

Gareth,

My order arrived today and, I must say, the flies are beyond my expectations. Marvellous work! I will have to up my tying a notch or two to even get anywhere these little beauties.

Thanks for speedy service, all the best and tight lines.

This is My World

I spot her from atop a bridge, mouth white and gills flaring as she feeds on ascending Heptagenids. Every once in a while she rises, targeting one of the hundreds of thousands of midge trapped in the surface film above her position. This is my world. Thirty something minutes getting into position, baby steps so […]

The First of the Jinglers

A first for me and, as a certain someone keeps banging on about the magical properties of this pattern (Mr Walsh), I thought I’d relent and finally give one a go. No doubt he’s smirking to himself right now… In preparation for this pattern (and regarding the front partridge hackle), I understand some prefer the […]

This monumental task has already been […]
