Fall hook, line and sinker for this Loch Fishing in Scotland activity! On this superb day you'll learn all you need to know to be able to fly fish and have plenty of time to fish and hopefully make a catch or two.

If you've never fished before don't worry, instructors such as Terry will be on hand to teach you fly fishing techniques from roll casting and overhead casting, to single spey or double spey. If this all sounds alien to you don't worry, you won't feel like a fish out of water, these are different fishing techniques that you'll soon be mastering with your rod and reel.

These wild fishery lakes boast tranquil waters, stunning scenery and miles of bank to fish from, as well as a small fleet of  fishing boats to get you out on the water. All equipment you need is provided and the tutor will be on hand throughout your day to guide and advise.
