Cheshire Fly Fishing

Cheshire Fly Fishing Welcome to Cheshire Fly Fishing. The company is owned and run by Ian Griffin. What We Do

Here at Cheshire Fly Fishing we have something for everyone.

Ian is a member of the Game Angling Instructors Association or GAIA for short and holds the Game Angling Instructors Certificate. Ian has had a huge passion for fishing for as long as he can remember, and whenever he has any spare time there is only one thing you will find him doing, fishing! Ian progressed into the world of fly fishing some 35 years ago and has never looked back. Fly fishing has taken Ian to some of the most beautiful places in the world including the lakes & rivers of Northwest England, Scotland, Cornwall, New Zealand and the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Fly fishing has given Ian so much pleasure that he wanted to give back to the sport that has given him so much. Ian set out on a new adventure to gain the skills and qualifications needed to become an instructor. After seeking tuition and furthering his skill Ian now holds a Game Angling Instructors Certificate in Single Handed Casting. Ian is fully insured and is a qualified first aider and also has an enhanced CRB check. Whether you are a complete beginner or someone that has been fly fishing for years and just need a little bit of tuition to help perfect your cast.. We have a number of programs of tuition that we hope will enable you to:

Cast further and more accurately
Stop tangles and knots
Cast to rising fish quickly
Learn which flies to use and when
Learn how to haul to increase distance
But mostly catch more and just enjoy your day

For the beginner we will guide you through the equipment, set up, fly selection & teach you the essential casting skills. For the more experienced angler we will iron out the bad habits that we all develop over the years. Improving your casting skills. You will learn new casts such as the presentation casts, single or double haul & speys.

Had a great time hosting,Theo, Graham, Trevor and Jeff Friars Carse Country House Hotel on my July Residential course in the River Nith.
Despite very low water conditions everyone manged to get fish to hand they were not always the biggest but that's fishing for you.
Casting by all showed improvements and I'm sure in better conditions it will make a big difference to their catches

Thanks to all the staff at the hotel for looking after us.
