For over 40 years, we have proudly shared our expertise in fly fishing and fly dressing with anglers of all levels. From teaching the fundamentals of fly fishing, casting, and techniques to more advanced angling concepts and intricate fly dressing, we aim to offer a relaxing and enjoyable experience tailored to your individual needs and abilities. Our ultimate goal is to enhance your understanding of the world of fly fishing and ensure your fishing experience is a fulfilling success.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the choices in your fly box? Unsure which fly to choose for the conditions? With our professional expertise in fly dressing, we can guide you to success. We offer:
• Top-quality flies crafted with the best hooks and materials available.
• Flies that are aesthetically pleasing and highly effective for catching fish.
• Customised fly designs to meet your specific preferences or unique patterns.
Every fly we tie adheres to our personal high standards. If you have a particular pattern or idea in mind, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our personalised tying service welcomes all requests, no matter how small.
Achieving excellence in fly dressing goes beyond simply “dressing” a hook with colourful materials. It requires patience, persistence, and knowledge of both entomology and ichthyology. A successful fly is one that catches fish, not just anglers. Your fishing success is guaranteed with the right fly, in the right place, and at the right time.
Our fly-tying principles are as follows:
• Quick and easy dressing.
• Use of only high-quality materials.
• Balanced, well-proportioned, and attractive designs.
• Natural and lifelike presentation.
• Durability to withstand various fishing conditions.
I am very proud of every fly that comes out of my vice.

“Enjoyed the day , first time on this beat and will return , didn’t see much of the water but lovely fly water that I fished , church pool will hold fish it’s getting them out is the trick!!” Mr Richard Richard, 2022
“Good morning Tomas, just to let you know we had a fantastic day on the beat yesterday. It is definitely one of the most scenic Tay beats!! Lots of trout caught, but there was a fish that kept showing near the croy that you can almost walk across the river on. It’s a fabulous beat and love the way you have got all the paths clear which helped Dad as he struggles to walk sometimes. I will come back again and definitely recommend it to friends….” Many thanks, Norman Deakin 2022
