One Day Foundation Course

The Fly Fishing School at Nether Wallop Mill is the ideal place to try your hand at fishing where there is a well-stocked trout lake.

The School is fully equipped and overseen by the Fishing Breaks Chief Instructor, Duncan Weston, who holds the nationally recognised APGAI & GAIA qualifications. All the tackle is provided and we use the very latest outfits from Orvis, the leading US tackle brand. The Foundation Courses are kept small (four pupils) to ensure maximum individual attention.

The tuition is very practical, where the aim is to get a rod in your hand & fishing with confidence just as soon as we can; no extensive classroom sessions and nearly all the time will be spent outside. At the end of each Course everybody receives a certificate & a handy booklet that summarises the topics covered, plus (we hope!) a few tasty fish to take home.

Here is a brief, but far from exhaustive, list of the topics that will be covered:

• Selecting the right tackle
• Tackling up
• Casting; overhead & roll cast
• Knots & tippets
• Hooking & landing a fish
• Safety

Nether Wallop is easy to reach, just an hour from the M3/M25 junction. The local market town of Stockbridge (4 miles) is a good place to stay or visit, with a host of country shops, places to eat, four pubs to stay at and one hotel. It is also the ‘fly fishing capital’ of England with a famous fishing history, two fishing shops & the River Test flowing alongside the High Street.
