Salmon School
You will be fishing on two top-class beats, Kirkwood and Jardine Hall. On each beat you will be accompanied by experienced anglers and instructors for casting tuition. You will mainly fish hard and learn by experience but there will be talks and tuition sessions as well. The spey casting tuition is second to none & we catch fish! Nearly every year there has been at least one caught.
Many anglers come again and again as they want to refresh their skills, keep improving their techniques, and also to take advantage of these fantastic fishing retreat packages! With all your food, accommodation, guidance and fishing included our schools offer tremendous value for money.
At the Summer School we will teach depending on weather/conditions, ie if the water is high we will be going for salmon, if the water is low we’ll be showing you how to fish for trout or sea trout. So this is not specificially a Salmon School but is being run as a Summer School as we expect to go for a range of fish on this one.

Terms and conditions
Sadly, we must remind you that weather is a major factor in fishing and if faced with poor weather conditions we may have to change how we fish or the location. In very high water spinning and worming is possible and permitted. It is unlikely that we would not be able to fish at all, but it is possible. If so, we would have extra tuition and talks and organise more fly tying sessions etc. Once booked and paid for no refunds are given under any circumstances and we recommend that you purchase a suitable holiday insurance policy to cover you for any unseen eventualities.
