I’ve been teaching fly-casting and fly fishing for many years.  As a member of the International Federation of Fly Fishers, it was a pleasure for me to host, as lead examiner, Chris Hague’s examinations to become a Master Certified Instructor. Chris performed flawlessly, every task on his casting performance exam, even to the extent that he was able to perform extra tasks I added to confirm his exceptional competence. When we administered his extensive oral examination which covered advanced casting mechanics, fly tackle, teaching knowledge, ethics and many other aspects of our fly-fishing World, we were impressed with his unusually complete knowledge. We are fortunate to have Chris as a member of our sport community!

Casting
Chris’s repertoire in double-handed casting techniques is complete to the standard which befits any mentor/teacher in my opinion and I would not hesitate in recommending  him to any person with a desire to learn to fly-cast.
Tuition
Chris’s teaching style is very accurate and to the point, but at the same time he has a laid back approach which puts learners at ease which I think is an advantage to someone wishing to learn. His demonstrations are always concise and slick, many times I have heard clients envious  comments. Chris is always open to discussions with a class if anyone asks a question.
Personal Development
Chris has allowed me to stand in on many of his lessons, both group and one-to-one sessions, which have been a major benefit to myself, both with the casting side and with the lesson delivery, and it is my hope that I can emulate Chris’s skills sometime in the future.
Simon was mentored by Chris and has now gained his Game Angling Instructors certificate.

It's a pleasure to work with Chris at Guideline and he is a crucial part of the elite Guideline Pro Team in the UK and Ireland. His input into product design has helped Guideline products evolve to meet the demands of the modern fly fisher. On the water his skill set and passion for the sport shines through at all times. Having watched him perform casting demonstrations at the countries biggest fishing shows he never misses a beat. Always delivering the most professional demos on any given day. If you are new to the sport or looking to elevate your casting and fishing to the next level you will not find a better instructor or guide than Chris Hague. Cheers Jim Curry

Couldn't be improved, has only increased my desire to fish! Thank you.

Excellent tuition, informative, helpful and always enjoyable course. Learnt more in five lessons than in the last five year's trout fishing.

Tuition was explained in a simple and understandable manner. Thank you Chris
