Pennine Guide Services can offer three main types of service but these are not cast in stone and can be varied to meet the requirements of individual clients.

Pennine Guide Services welcome all levels of fly-fishers. If you are an experienced angler but feel you need to know more about a particular aspect of lake or river fly-fishing such as upstream nymph, dry fly, wet fly or maybe you would like to know more about fly patterns or entomology with regard to fly-fishing then please let me know so that I can work the day around your individual needs. If you have no experience of fly-fishing at all then the Taster Days will be ideal for you.

1. FULL GUIDE SERVICE

The all-inclusive service specifically designed for visitors to the area from other parts of the United Kingdom or abroad. All the necessary permits and licences will be provided as will all the equipment needed for your choice of water (if required). I have intimate knowledge of the waters and make sure you fish the best areas with the correct flies. All you need is suitable outdoor clothing, waders, a hat and sunglasses (to protect your eyes) plus plenty of enthusiasm! The time you start and finish is flexible to suit you but a normal day would usually be 9:30am until 5pm. The varying fees for each of the waters on which I guide are detailed on the fishing venue pages.

2. TASTER DAYS

These are designed for the client who has never fly-fished before but would like to see what all the fuss is about! On Taster Days I will take you out for a day on to one of Yorkshires most beautiful waters. Here I can explain and demonstrate the mysteries of fly-fishing tackle, casting and watercraft. I can talk about the aims of the fly-fisher and show you the “natural” food of the fish and the intricate artificial flies I create to imitate this food.

All you will need is suitable drab outdoor clothing, a hat and sunglasses. I may even be able to supply waders if required (limited sizes). As well as the fishing you should also pick up other information about the wildlife that makes up the complex ecosystems of healthy rivers and lakes.

As you would expect fees vary and are detailed on the fishing venue pages.

3. GUIDE ONLY SERVICE

This service is designed for the travelling angler with their own fishing tackle, licences and permits but believe they would benefit from the knowledge of a dedicated local guide in order to make the most of their visit. As with the Full Guide Service I will ensure that you are fishing the best areas with advice on the best flies to give you the best chance to make a good catch. My basic daily guide rate is £130 per day, but please don’t forget you will also have to cover my travel/accommodation expenses and any permit cost that is applicable.
