Personal Coaching. Coarse & Trout . Tuition tailored to your needs.

Exactly as it says, just advise me on what you want. Anything from big Carp on the pole to whip fishing for Roach with breadpunch on the canal.

You may be new to the area and just want a days walk along the river having the best swims pointed out. If you are a Trout angler new to the area, take look at the guiding section.

As needs and venues vary enormously for this type of coaching, email or phone with your requirements and will quote you a price (no obligation). It may not be just for you, these sessions are ideal for Husband & Wife, Father/Mother & Son/Daughter or just Angling buddies.

You may want to catch Bream or Chub from a swim where you know they live but have not been able to connect with them. No matter what, you can be sure it will be a fun informative day out.
