What my clients say...

Dear Roger

I went to sleep on Sunday night dreaming of my catch and casting - is that a good or bad sign?

Thanks for the notes - your earlier experience shows through in the clarity - the photograph was truly inspiring.

I can't imagine a better tutor, who could offer better company in better surroundings than I had on Sunday.

Thanks enormously.

Dear Roger

I would like to thank you again for such a wonderful day yesterday... the venue was probably the best overall I've been to for scenerey, wildlife, tranquillity and fish quality. Your tuition was first class... Your company was excellent too... The whole day was a beautifully relaxed lazy summers day meandering along in pursuit of beautiful fish. I learnt some new techniques for the rivers and also some more entomology, which is always useful.

Dear Sir

I had a days fly fishing tuition with Roger... on the River Wharfe at Bolton Abbey. Roger is an excellent instructor... was keen to ensure that I got what I wanted out of the day... It was only the following day that I realised Roger had given my tackle and me a very subtle "once over". Roger has a way of exploring how you would do something and then refining that, if required, rather than being prescriptive.

I would recommend Roger to new anglers or those who wish to improve. Not only is the teaching, advice and guidance excellent, but Roger is good company as well.

Dear Roger

I write to thank you for the two most superb days which we spent in your company... whilst being totally new to the art of fly fishing, the time which we spent with you was most memorable and we thank you for your patience and the manner in which you were able to cope with two most enthusiastic amateurs.

The fly-fishing course was a present... and will be long remembered as one of the happiest weekends of my life.

Dear Roger

Thank you very much for the weekend fishing. I know that my father had a superb time and it proved to be spot-on as a birthday treat. For both of us, it far exceeded anything which we had dared to hope for and was a first-rate introduction to a sport...

Once again, very many thanks for a wonderful weekend.

Dear Roger

... I really wanted to drop you a line though (no pun intended) to say a huge thank you for such a super day last Wednesday. I learned loads and can't wait to practice "poking the moon in the eye!"

Thank you for your Skill, patience and sense of humour.

Dear Roger

... appreciated the solid advice you gave us on kit - there's a bewildering amount of it out there and quite frankly I wouldn't have known where to start.

I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend and the opportunity to learn something new as well as the opportunity to try... black pudding, which seems to have shrunk my trousers as well!

I have no doubt that... I will be back again for the "advanced" course...

R.M.

Dear Roger

Many thanks for a perfect weekend of fly-fishing. The mix between river and lake fishing gave me a great insight into the sport.

...Once again many thanks for all your help and I look forward to spending another weekend with you in the near future.

Dear Sirs

RE: FLY FISHING FOR BEGINNERS

I write to congratulate yourselves on the excellent course I have just completed, whilst it is an unusual topic… the group numbers remained stable. Of all the night school courses I have completed I must say our tutor, Roger Beck, was more than helpful and always kept the classes very interested and to this end he must be congratulated. It is a topic I will certainly tell my friends to look for if it runs again.

Kind Regards
