Turn a good cast into a great one with a private full-day chalk stream fly fishing experience on the Hampshire–Wiltshire border, set in the beautiful Vale of Pewsey. Your day is hosted by Jamie, an expert fly fishing guide and river keeper with an infectious passion for protecting England’s rare chalk streams. With around 85% of the world’s chalk streams found here, this Wiltshire location is a true hidden gem — and Jamie knows every pool and glide inside out. Across the full day, you will enjoy relaxed, one-to-one tuition covering all the fundamentals of trout fly fishing. From choosing the right tackle and tackling up, to understanding insect life, selecting flies, perfecting your casting and learning how to hook and land a fish, the lesson is tailored entirely to you. Suitable for complete beginners or anglers looking to refine their technique, this private experience can be enjoyed by one or two people together. And if luck’s on your side, you may even take a trout home for supper — the perfect end to a peaceful and rewarding day on the water.
