River Derwent.

Nothing was showing early doors this morning, so it was a case of hitting the basement to see if the fish were playing. It didn’t take long before the Mackenzie nymph rod had brought a few fish to the net.

As the day wore on and the temperature lifted, we started to see a few mayflies popping off the surface , cue the dry fly rod coming out, the true highlight of trout fishing for me.

Dry fly magic using the FX2 rod and the new FX Integra Trout line. An absolute dream to cast.

A little unusual to see May fly this early on the Derwent, as the mayfly hatch normally arrives late May into early June. Not complaining though🐟🎣

Single handed fly casting lessons really are the flavour of the month at the moment, people must be itching to get on the dry fly.

You can have the best equipment and flies in the world, but if you can’t put the fly in the zone, you’re limiting your opportunities. Developing your casting, especially Spey casting can take your catch rates to another level.

Wentworth really is a beautiful place to teach and to learn in relaxing surroundings, with wildlife in abundance, today we had visits from common buzzard, hare, barn owl, along with plenty of ducks, deer, and pheasant.

Two rivers in two days, polar opposites. One the River Don cutting through industrial Sheffield, the other the River Derwent winding through the stunning Chatsworth House estate. Both with their own kind of magic.

As the temperature crept up later today , the fish really started looking up. We picked up plenty on the nymph rod, but there’s just something special about watching a fish take off the top. Dry fly wins it every time 🎣

The noise of the steelworks and trains thundering past. Graffiti covering the walls, you’d never expect this to be the setting for a river packed with grayling, brown trout, and an abundance of wildlife.
Welcome to the River Don, running right through the heart of Sheffield’s industry.

Busy week of teaching, topped off with two father & son lessons.

Brilliant to see young lads coming into our sport and even better seeing that passion shared across generations.

The future looks bright. Well done today guys in tricky wind conditions.

Casting pools manicured and ready for a busy run of lessons 🎣

If you’ve never been to Wentworth Woodhouse, it’s a stunning place,especially at this time of year.

Perfect setting for 1:1 tuition and group workshops.
