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.
Fly-fishing Tuition tailored to individual needs
The main aim of Beckfisher is
always to provide tuition to meet individual needs. However, here
are some of the things that are available:
- Individual or group tuition available on still or running
waters
- Sensitive, personal tuition in basic skills, "improver"
level or advanced techniques
- Problem solving and casting clinics
- Entomology
- One-day introductions, weekends or short breaks
- Equipment advice (how to avoid breaking the bank)
- 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.
