Fly Fishing for Beginners - Holiday at Nidd Hall, Nidd, North Yorkshire with Warner Leisure Hotels.The sport with a cast of thousands! Watching an experienced fly fisherman cannot fail to intrigue and fascinate you: the action of casting itself is intricate and almost balletic; and to see a fish being patiently reeled in is to witness an ancient battle between man and nature.
However, it is an intricate skill that can be acquired, even by complete beginners – as our expert tutor Steve Rhodes will demonstrate. And of course it’s a sport where the spoils of victory include a delicious meal of freshly caught fish!
Some of the finest fishing waters in the country are to be found just a short distance from Nidd Hall and – after a morning indoors session covering the principles of fly fishing, such as tying and casting, and important issues including health and safety - Steve will take you, as part of a very small group, for an afternoon of fly fishing on still waters.
All fishing equipment will be provided: you will just need to bring along suitable waterproof clothing, sunglasses and a hat.
Fly fishing has a long and proud history: it was first described in literature some 2,000 years ago and the modern version is believed to have begun in Scotland as long ago as the 15th century. Today it’s used to catch a variety of species which can be lured into thinking that the fly on or just underneath the surface is their next meal!
To ensure you receive the intensive tuition needed, the group is just four in size - so book early to avoid disappointment.
