Description
Fly Fishing courses for beginners in Scotland
Fly fishing lessons in a fully-equipped loch-side fishing cabin. We offer various fishing venues throughout Scotland. Learn the tips and techniques, about what type of fishing tackle to use. Learn about the most effective flies and how to read a river. You can fine tune your loch fishing techniques, and how to perform various casts with a fly rod.
In the afternoon session, we put theory into practice. The guests get on the water to try casting techniques, with the ultimate aim to catch a trout. Starting with the roll – cast and then to the overhead cast. These two simple fly casts are all you need to get you up and running.
The trout fishing venue where we hold these courses for beginners, is a beautiful, secluded trout loch 50 mins from Edinburgh. If you catch a trout, we can prepare it to take home and show off to friends and family. You may take up to a maximum of two fish home. The loch is one of the finest trout lochs close to Edinburgh. It is carefully managed, and has 3 acres of exciting trout fishing. All fishing is from the shore. The trout are easy to catch and hard fighting. Most trout are caught on the surface using small flies, imitating the natural insects that trout predate on.
Lunch can be included in a fully equipped lochside cabin. At the end of this exciting day, we will provide you with a certificate, and a baseball hat.

Thank you so much for the magical day on the “Loch” my daughter says: “this was the best part of our trip to Europe!” I agree with her. I would like to add that I appreciated your patience with her teaching her fly fishing, I am so proud that my daughter “out fished me”. Thank you for making these memories possible.
