Fly fishing lessons and courses with qualified instruction.

Our fly fishing lessons cover a range of subjects: fly fishing equipment, fly-casting, fish behaviour and diet, safety and river craft - providing you with a solid foundation of the right skills for future flyfishing success. No matter what your age or experience, Famous Fishing’s qualified fly fishing guides, instructors and coaches will save you hours of frustration and uncertainty. From the start, our focus is on clear explanation. Individual or group courses of one, two and three days are available with Sage and Hardy equipment provided. We teach fly fishing for Trout and Grayling on all the chalkstream rivers and streams including the Rivers Test, Anton, Avon, Wylye, Itchen and Lambourn.  Our private lakes near Andover in Hampshire and Salisbury in Wiltshire are the ideal locations for an introduction into the art of flyfishing.

We also teach advanced casts and other presentation techniques needed to outwit the most educated brown trout. You can learn more about trout behaviour in a single day on a chalk stream than you might in a year on another river. Nowhere else do you get the opportunity to stalk brown trout of such size and quality in such shallow, clear water. If you are interested in entomology and fly tying, we can catch the natural nymphs and insects from the river, identify them, explain their life cycles and importance, and even tie the appropriate imitation right there on the river bank.

Famous Fishing's guides are all nationally recognized fly fishing instructors and coaches, and can provide basic or advanced tuition depending on the ability of the client. Experts on all aspects of chalk streams - including their remarkable wildlife and history – they will show you where to look for and how to catch your trout, and you will find them patient, attentive and entertaining.
