Guiding

With a strong background in

competitive fly fishing, I stay at the

forefront of modern techniques,

innovative fly patterns, and the

latest equipment.

​​

As a 3-time Elite Performance

Programme Champion and an

international representative for England with 8 caps at the World Fly Fishing Championships and 5 appearances at the European Fly Fishing Championships, I bring a level of experience and technical knowledge few guides can offer. Competing against some of the best anglers in the world has allowed me to refine modern tactics, fish-reading skills, and adaptable approaches that consistently produce results in challenging conditions. When you book a guided day with FlyFishNorth, you benefit from proven international-level expertise, personalised coaching, and insights gained from years of competing at the very highest standard of fly fishing.

​

From advanced river tactics such as Euro Nymphing to stillwater strategies

refined through years of competition, I bring proven methods that deliver results on the water. My experience across a wide range of rivers and lakes throughout the UK allows me to offer far more than a “one venue fits all” approach. Conditions change constantly, and choosing the right location can make all the difference to your success.

​

If your first-choice venue isn’t fishing at its best, I’ll recommend alternative waters that provide the greatest opportunity for an enjoyable and productive day. The River Tees remains one of my personal favourites and a venue really suited to learning watercraft.

​

Every guided session is built around your goals, ability level, and the areas you want to improve. Whether you struggle with hooking and landing fish, reading water correctly, fly selection, presentation, or simply want to become a more confident angler, your day will be tailored specifically to you.

Choosing the right guide is an important part of improving your fishing and getting the most from your time on the water. At FlyFishNorth, the focus is simple — helping you catch more fish while developing skills and confidence that stay with you long after the session ends. My experience competing at a high level across multiple countries gives clients access to modern techniques, tactical insights, and the small details that consistently make a big difference.
