Sorry, but we will not be providing any flyfishing courses or private tuition during 2012. We hope that you find our pages of information and advice helpful... Pat and SueLatest NewsCancer Research Wales is holding our annual Championship Cup Fly Fishing Competition on Sunday 15th May 2011, in association with Welsh Water. The event is to be held at Llandegfedd Reservoir, Pontypool and is a huge success each year. All money raised from this event is guaranteed to be spent in Wales funding our pioneering cancer research projects. More Details (PDF)... First Nature flyfishing tuition for Beginners and for ImproversHaving provided fly fishing tuition since 1981, we have learned a great deal about the real needs of people taking up fly fishing or wanting to improve their casting and fly-fishing skills. The instruction you will receive with First Nature is based on 50 years of experience fishing for salmon, trout, sea trout (sewin) and grayling on rivers and lakes - mostly in Wales, England and Scotland, but also in Portugal, France, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, the USA, Argentina, 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 on choosing and using the flies most likely to succeed. In other words our lessons are practical rather than heavily theoretical - although we do help people to understand how to work out, in a variety of situations, answers to the many questions why, what, when, where and how of fly fishing. 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 - and everything else that spending time by a natural, beautiful and wild river has to offer. You will not have to spend time on topics you are already familiar with, but if you need answers to (or practical help with) any aspect of fly fishing then we will be pleased to help you - for example on particular casting techniques such as roll cast, double haul, single Spey and double Spey casts, or the snake roll; tackle, accessories, waders, knots etc. Everyone's needs are individual, and as far as is practically possible we want you to enjoy tuition that is just right for you. Your Flyfishing Instructors
The River Teifi, widely considered the UK's most prolific sea trout river, is the venue for our flyfishing lessons in Wales. Pat is the author of two books about this great river: Tribute to the Teifi, published in 1998, and A Flyfisher's Guide to the Teifi Valley - published in 2005 and available from our online bookshop. We also provide casting demonstrations at angling shows and game fairs, and we are always happy to give illustrated talks on a range of flyfishing topics - please email us to discuss possible dates and topics. Other information sourcesSigned copies of Pat's bestselling books, including Matching the Hatch, are also available online... In addition, you will find information on selecting and setting up tackle, how to tie fishing knots, casting techniques and lots more all accessible via the links at the top of this page.
