Fishing Chat

News from the Chalkstreams 

Fly fishing is our way of life, our obsession and our purpose here at Fly Odyssey is to make sure you enjoy every aspect of it as much as we do.

Fly fishing is about so much more than just hooking a fish. When I started out lake fishing my only thought was to land as many fish as I could. Don’t get me wrong, they were great days and so much fun, and I really thought that I knew how to catch fish. However, everything changed when I was taken by my father-in-law to fish on the river Nadder in Wiltshire. It was such a different experience with a moving surface, spooky fish and all manner of obstacles.

 

My passion now is river fishing, practising catch and release on wild trout in wild overgrown places but I still thoroughly enjoy a day on one of the premium Test beats after stocked fish, all washed down with a glass of champagne at lunch time. It really doesn’t matter what you prefer, as long as you are enjoying where you are fishing.

Here, you will find all the tales of the river, advice on all fishing practises whether a beginner or seasoned angler, information about our premium beats and much more.

If you are eager to start your fishing adventure with Fly Odyssey, please call for a chat on 07817 304232 or email me on g.bate@flyodyssey.co.uk.

I very much look forward to talking to you!

The greatest joy was watching the fish in the river - you could see them scanning the surface for fly life and every now and again, emerging upwards to sip something down.
