TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE YOUR TRIP WITH US AS SAFE AND ENJOYABLE AS POSSIBLE

Fishing can be a dangerous activity.

· Keep clear of overhead power lines - fishing rods can make excellent conductors; with this in mind also beware of electrical storms.

· Wiels disease is transmitted in rat’s urine, never put any item of tackle that has been in contact with the water or on the bank in your mouth, also keep any open wounds covered with waterproof plasters.

· Please wear EYE PROTECTION at all times and any LIFE PRESERVER issued to you if fishing from a boat.

· Wade slowly and carefully at all times taking great care not to trip on uneven banks or riverbeds. Do not wade more deeply than your confidence level permits – if in doubt back out

In general please behave appropriately to the prevailing conditions and accept any guidance and instruction offered by your Guide.

The weather in the Pennines can be very changeable in any season of the year and can change quickly during any one day - the water is never warm. Please ensure you have appropriate clothing including a warm waterproof and windproof jacket if you are in any doubt contact us for advice. If you have your own life preserver please wear it.

It is also recommended that you bring along a change of clothing in case you are unlucky enough to slip or fall in the water, with this in mind if you are carrying a mobile phone or camera these are best kept in plastic bags or specialist cases to prevent them getting wet.

Please make your Guide aware (if you feel it’s necessary) of any medical conditions you may have such as epilepsy, a heart condition, diabetes, serious allergies, etc

Lastly, fly-fishing is great fun and we are very much looking forward to meeting you soon.

Thank you.
