Fly fishing is a very peaceful outdoor activity - and one that also requires patience, tact and being at one with nature. And this private two hour 1:1 session, under the guidance of an expert guide and keeper, on chalkstream-fed lakes in the Vale of Pewsey on the border where Wiltshire meets Hampshire, is about the best introduction to fly fishing you can have. Jamie, who is your guide on this session, is passionate about protecting and preserving our chalk streams. There's only about 200 of them in the world, and 85% of them are based in the UK, and the reason they're so important is because they help to naturally purify and filter the water that helps fish to thrive. And you'll not only be fishing in a real hidden gem of the South of England, but you'll also be learning all the essentials from a seasoned professional, with all levels of expertise accounted for from beginners to more experienced anglers. And from choosing the right equipment to tackling up, and selecting your fly to hooking and landing your catch, you will hopefully come away from your session feeling more confident in your abilities to make a good cast!
