Trout Fly Fishing

A day fishing with Charles Jardine, one of the finest fishermen of his generation, is a real fly fishing education! Charles is full of enthusiasm for the sport, and his expert knowledge is bound to improve your fishing skills. Your day starts with coffee and a tackle talk and informal Q and A with Charles. Then you'll head outside for a demonstration of casting and fishing techniques. Next you'll tackle up and get a feel for the equipment you'll be using. After a short break for a cold buffet lunch, head out to the lakes. Charles and his expert team will be on hand to give you tips on best flies and tactics, covering everything from tackle innovations to casting to fly tying, with plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions. You'll be fishing lakes in a private fishery at the head of the beautiful Itchen Valley, where the waters are well stocked with rainbow and brown trout, as well as the rarer blue trout. You can also take home two of the fish you catch at the end of the day.
