Stalking Trout in Gloucestershire
Stalking is the most active, interesting, and truely thrilling way to fly fish! Also referred to as sight fishing or polaroiding depending upon where you are in the world, the aim is to spot a fish in it's natural environment then catch it.
Sound simple to you? Well it's not quite as easy as it sounds! We learn you how to locate fish, recognise feeding trout, present your fly accurately and naturally, then you have to hold your nerve as a large trout engulfs the fly before your eyes. You strike, the water explodes and your fish is on!
Clients taken sight fishing are as firmly hooked on it as the fish caught! Very often it changes their view of fly fishing permanently. Here's what one client thought of his experience: -
"Hi Steve, I want to thank you again for a great day, I enjoyed catching some fabulous fish. However it was the learning experience that will be of greatest value to my future fishing, I learned far more than I ever could from books or fishing myself! Andrew Poulton, Leicestershire."
