A Day in the Life of a Fisherman

The ‘Day in the Life of a Fly Fisherman’ is an opportunity to spend a day as part of a group with Britain's most famous & internationally renowned fisherman at Western Court Trophy Lakes which are in the heart of fishing country, at the head of the beautiful Itchen valley. The lakes are well stocked with trout, including some monsters and the rare blue trout.

The day will buzz with enthusiasm and whether you are a novice, expert or somewhere in between, you are guaranteed a great fishing day with exclusive access to the private fishery at Western Court.

• Casting demonstration
• Tackle talk

Exclusive 1-to-1 day with Charles Jardine

To describe Charles Jardine as a living legend is no exaggeration, but it does make him seem aloof & unapproachable when he is nothing of the sort. A day spent with Charles will open your eyes to a whole host of new fishing opportunities, techniques & perspectives delivered in a relaxing & informative way.

Few would argue that Charles Jardine is the pre-eminent fisherman of his generation and the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF) recently honoured him with the prestigious Ambassador Award. At the awards ceremony, held in Montana, USA, in July 2005 FFF chairman Gary Grant said the award was in "recognition of an individual who has gone way beyond the usual efforts to grow the sport on a international basis: it is one of the highest awards we can give – and richly deserved".

As a consultant to some of the leading fly fishing brands, Charles usually has some ‘state-of-the-art’ piece of tackle for you to try out & as President of APGAI he is an accomplished instructor. This is very much a day to be taken at your own pace & Charles will adapt the fishing to suit. If you want to learn some new casting techniques, do some fly tying or go in search of that elusive ‘monster’ Charles will be happy to adapt.

So, look forward to a full day of fun & informative fishing at a private fishery reserved for your exclusive use with Charles.
