Fishing reviews and guest experiences

“Brilliant day out. What Bill doesn’t know about fishing isn’t worth knowing.”

“You really go out of your way to teach the technical aspects, but also the wider context. It’s really engaging and I genuinely couldn’t have hoped for a better introduction to fly fishing.”

“It was an outstanding day on the Tweed and surrounding area. Thank you for being such a fantastic fly-fishing guide and tour guide as well. The day could not have been better, and we will remember you and the trip always.”

“Bill brought me to a beautiful, quiet and historic section where I was the only person fishing the beat all day. Within minutes I was catching healthy wild brown trout and grayling. He is a clear, patient teacher and an entertaining storyteller. This was a truly memorable day.”

“Had a fantastic couple of days fishing with my sons and Bill’s team. Equipment was good quality, locations beautiful and the service outstanding. We tried Euro-nymphing as well as conventional fly fishing. I would happily recommend them—and we even caught a couple of fish!”

“Just travelling home after a wonderful few days fishing. It was an awesome experience! Our guides Roger, John and Rob were the best: patient, encouraging and fun to be with. Thank you so much for organising such a great trip.”

“A very good day out on the river in an exceptional place. The peace and tranquillity was out of this world—a great day with a brilliant instructor. Thank you once again.”

“Coming from South Africa, the fishing experience was a real financial push for me. But standing in the Tweed, crystal-clear water around me and the odd salmon rising, I realised a profound feeling that can’t be explained. One of the most amazing days of my life—a real bucket-list experience. Rob’s patience and calm energy set the tone for the day, and the beautiful salmon was the cherry on top.”

“Fantastic day. Caught my first grayling and had a nice day with James. Learned a lot as well.”

“A top-notch day with a world-class guide, in some of the most beautiful streams. Highly recommended!”

“Our time in the river was phenomenal. I was a little apprehensive about joining my 12-year-old son on his first fly-fishing lesson. I shouldn’t have been. We had the best morning learning how to cast and even catching our first salmon. This company is second to none, and we would highly recommend it.”
