Salmon Flyfishing Courses for Beginners and Improvers

Sue demonstrates the snake roll cast

Our autumn salmon fishing course on a private beat of the River Teifi in West Wales is designed for both beginners and more experienced anglers. (For safety reasons places on this course are not available to young people under the age of 16.)

During the practical lessons, our tutors will ensure that couples or groups whose members are at different levels of experience can be together while still receiving tuition to suit their individual needs.

The emphasis in this course is on practical skills and knowledge acquired as much as possible at the waterside.
