Introduction: The Joy of Fishing in Devon

Fishing is a rewarding way to spend a day, whether you’re an experienced angler seeking a new challenge or a beginner eager to learn. The Torbay area, with its stunning lakes and coastline, offers endless opportunities for a memorable day on the water.

Meet Your Guide

With over 40 years of fishing experience in the South West, I’m passionate about sharing my expertise with others. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun outdoor activity, an individual seeking solitude, or a school or work group planning a team outing, I’ll help you make the most of your time on the water.

Specialties and Expertise

My personal favorite is light tackle sea angling, an exhilarating experience for any angler. However, I enjoy all forms of fishing and have even authored eight books on the subject. My latest, Fly Fishing – the Tug on the Line, is a great resource for those interested in fly fishing for trout and other freshwater and marine species.

Key Highlights:

  • Ultralight fly fishing for carp – A unique and exciting challenge
  • Guiding and workshops – Tailored for families, groups, and individuals
  • Published author – 8 books on fishing techniques and adventures
