DreamStreams |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Having run fly fishing courses since 1981, we have learned a great deal about the real needs of people taking up fly fishing or coming on courses to improve their casting and fly-fishing skills. The instruction you will receive with DreamStreams is based on 50 years of experience fishing for salmon, trout, sea trout (sewin) and grayling on rivers and lakes - mostly in the UK but also in France, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, Russia and Iceland.
The emphasis is on getting tackle, techniques and tactics right for the particular water conditions, on reading the river to select the best places to fish and the flies most likely to succeed. In other words our courses are practical rather than theoretical. Most of the time you will be out on the river receiving advice, guidance and where appropriate practical demonstrations of techniques that will help you to catch more fish and enjoy your fishing experiences more.

Pat O'Reilly and Sue Parker are well known in the game fishing world. Pat, an APGAI qualified instructor, is the author of ten books on fly fishing, fly tying, angling entomology and river and lake fisheries; he has published several hundred articles in the UK and overseas as well as appearing many times on radio and television. Sue, who holds STANIC qualifications in trout and salmon tuition has also published several fishing articles and has not only on radio and television but also in instructive video films about fly fishing techniques. In spring 2004 Pat and Sue designed and wrote for the Salmon & Trout Association an illustrated Guide to Trout and Grayling Fishing, copies of which are made available to people attending First Nature trout fishing courses. This volume and its sequel, Guide to Flyfishing for Salmon and Sea Trout, are available from the bookshop section of this website...
The River Teifi, widely considered the UK's most prolific sea trout river, is the venue for our flyfishing courses in Wales. We also provide casting demonstrations at angling shows and game fairs.
