Damsel fly fishing Fly Fishing Tuition
Damsel fly fishing is run by me, Sue Macniven, there is only me, there is no "We" If you book to come fishing and learn to cast with Damsel Fly Fishing you will get me, guaranteed. I teach on still waters all year round and rivers throughout the season full time not just weekends. My aim is to give you clear and concise instruction with a minimum of jargon. Although I am qualified to advanced level for both double and single handed casting I teach many beginners and cover fishing as well as casting so the casts learned can then be applied in real fishing situations.
