Finally, below is a Google review from an American client, Alex Hollenburg from NYC. Alex brought three friends to learn to fly fish and traveled from Glasgow for the day.
“Everything about this trout fishing experience was excellent. My brother and I caught upwards of 10-15 rainbows each, complete with a top-notch lunch and a dram of whisky. Stewart is a wonderful guide — kind, patient, and super friendly.
I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in fly fishing, from the novice to the more experienced angler. Just being out in the Scottish countryside for a day, fish or no fish, is soothing to the soul. Thanks so much, Stewart. We’ll definitely be back soon.”
