How quickly will you respond?

We normally reply within one working day. During especially busy periods on the water it may take a little longer, but every genuine enquiry receives a personal response.

What information helps you recommend suitable fishing?

Dates or an approximate month, party size, experience, preferred species and where you expect to stay are the most useful starting points. It is also fine to say that you are unsure.

Can I telephone instead of completing the form?

Yes. Call Bill on +44 (0)7896 741193. If he is guiding and cannot answer immediately, leave a message and he will return the call when safely off the water.

Do I need to know which river or guide I want?

No. Bill can recommend realistic water and an appropriate available guide after understanding your dates, interests and experience.

Is submitting an enquiry a commitment to book?

No. Bill will check the options and provide a written recommendation and quote before you decide whether to confirm.
