What Can I Expect

Make a good cast into a great one on these private fly fishing experiences on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border! Enjoy a two-hour, half-day or full-day fishing trip on the chalksteam-fed lakes in the gorgeous Vale of Pewsey.

Your host for these private fishing lessons is Jamie, a fly fishing guide and river keeper who is passionate about protecting and preserving our precious chalk streams that naturally filter the water to provide such pure waters to fish in.

Amazingly, there are only around 200 chalk streams in the world and around 85% of them are in England. This part of Wiltshire is a true hidden gem - Jamie knows these waters like the back of his hand and will take you to some of the best fly fishing in the area.

Fly fishing is quite the art form and you’ll follow a fun and engaging lesson plan that covers all the essentials of trout fly fishing; including choosing the right equipment and tackling up, the study of insect life and fly selection, casting and (of course!) hooking and landing your catch!

As all teaching is on a one-to-one basis, the experiences are suitable for all levels of anglers, from beginners casting off for the first time, to those who are wanting to improve their fishing techniques.

These chalk stream fly fishing lessons in Wiltshire can be attended by one or two people together., with additional participants available on request And when you do make that catch, you can even take a trout home for supper!
