About me

I’m a Fly Fishing Guide with ten years of experience fishing rivers such as the River Wye, River Usk and their tributaries for trout and grayling.

Get in touch

I am fortunate to have started my career fly fishing in Wales. The country is criss-crossed with hundreds of miles of rivers and dotted with an abundance of wild lakes. Most support healthy populations of wild brown trout, and many rivers also hold grayling. The Welsh rivers I fish, such as the Wye, Usk, Irthon, Ithon and Elan, produce fish in prolific numbers and to specimen sizes each year. 

From high-altitude pocket water fishing to dry fly fishing in glassy glides, Wales has fly fishing to suit all tastes. With variety comes choice; no matter the weather conditions, it is normally always possible to find somewhere fishable in Wales. When rivers are in spate, the search for fishable water can take you to the headwaters of mighty Welsh rivers such as the Wye. This is where you can find some of the best and most undiscovered fly fishing for wild brown trout.

It is this variety in fishing that has developed my fly-fishing knowledge over the years. I hope you enjoy reading the articles on the site, and they encourage you to discover the joy of fly fishing in wild places.
