I have been fishing for over 50 years and enjoy passing on my knowledge and experience of this fascinating sport.

I live here on the wonderful Isle of Skye in the Highlands of Scotland and have a family connection that goes back many generations.

I offer fly fishing tuition and guided fishing expeditions to loch, stream and river on the Island. I can tailor your fishing break to your specific requirements and can provide expert guidance to catch that most elusive of fish “Salmo salar” the wild Atlantic Salmon.

Trout abound in the many lochs and rivers and all are hard fighting wild fish.

Salmon and sea-trout run our streams and rivers right through from early June until the end of the season in October.

Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fly fishing why not add a day or half day fishing course or ghillied angling to your holiday here in the West Highland Island of Skye.

I can provide tuition in fly casting and provide suitable tackle for your day.

So let me be your guide to what the Island has to offer in trout, sea-trout and salmon fly fishing all in some of the most spectacular scenery in the United Kingdom.

Best Tackle
Trout/ Sea Trout:
9/10 Foot Single handed Fly Rod and line 7/9.
Salmon:
As above except if fishing rivers in spate when a double handed 13 foot rod is recommended.

Your concept of fishing the salmon spate rivers for only the half day was great, the family and I could still enjoy the rest of the day AND thanks to you , I caught a salmon in the early morning – What a great introduction to salmon fishing.
