Fully qualified, professional fly-fishing instruction
To fully enjoy the pleasures of fly fishing for trout and grayling, it is vital to master the essential casting and presentation skills. The only way to ensure that these skills are taught properly is to learn with a trained and qualified instructor.
You must not risk learning someone else's bad habits!
 My name is Roger Beck. I am the proprietor of the Beckfisher fly fishing school and am a nationally qualified fly fishing instructor, holding the Salmon & Trout Association National Instructor's Certificate (STANIC). I am also a member of the Game Angline Instructors' Association (GAIA).
Let me introduce you to this fascinating pastime or improve present skills amidst splendid Yorkshire Scenery.
You may have seen me on the television, in Luke Casey's The Dales Diary.

- Top quality equipment for hire
- Corporate days arranged
- Casting and fishing demonstrations
- Accompanied fishing expeditions
- Tailor-made packages arranged for individuals, groups or as a special present
Stress management
Stress management is my speciality. In today's increasingly pressurised and hectic society some people find it difficult to 'switch off' and relax fully when away from work. Fly-fishing, especially in beautiful locations, calms body and soul. Many of my clients have said so. Some have sought me out for just that reason (or their partners have). If life is becoming too demanding for you or someone you care about, contact me. I believe I can help. There has been regional and national press coverage of this aspect of my work.
