Fly Fishing for Beginners Holiday in Wales with Warner Leisure Hotels. There are few more artistic sports than fly fishing. 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. 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.
It certainly looks complicated and its dedicated followers spend years perfecting their technique, but it is a skill that can be acquired, even by complete beginners – as our expert tutor Derek Turner will demonstrate. And of course it’s a sport where the spoils of victory include a delicious meal of freshly caught fish!
We have some fine fishing waters close by to the Castle and, after a morning’s indoors session learning basics such as how to tie and cast, Derek will take you for an afternoon of fly fishing under his expert guidance. The next day, after video analysis of your technique, you’ll go for a further afternoon’s fishing to apply all the lessons you have learned.
All fishing equipment will be provided: you will just need to bring along suitable waterproof clothing, sunglasses and a hat. To ensure you receive the intensive tuition needed, the group is small in size - so book early to avoid disappointment.
