The Scott Fly Fishing School

fly fishing is our life - Lake with man fishing

Listed below are our most popular courses but we are happy to tailor a course to suit your requirements on an hourly, half day, daily or two/three day’s basis. We have tried to make our courses a little different with the emphasis on enjoyment but also so that you go home with plenty of new skills to try elsewhere!

All of our instructors/guides are full time. This means we are out on the water every day. We don’t do this as a hobby it’s our job! We all hold the highest and hardest casting and instructing exam: AAPGAI (Association of Advanced Professional Game Angling Instructors).

So you can rest assured we have been examined to teach every cast you will ever need. It is important you check your instructor is qualified to do this. We are instructors and not coaches and are passionate about fly fishing….share our passion!

Please feel free to call us 01566 784000 to ask any questions or if you're in Devon or Cornwall why not pop in for a coffee and a cast!
