As a guest of
Wilderness Flyfishing, you can have the
opportunity to be guided by some of the best qualified instructors and International
competitors in Europe. We can also arrange for you to take part in Masterclass sessions in which
Internationals, and top experts, demonstrate the
frontier methods of the contemporary sport. The fishing itself is on some of the best trout and grayling fisheries
that exist.
we
are ideally centred for guiding and exploring the lovely country and fishing
over a very large area. The range of fishing we have available is
unparalleled in England. Within 15 miles of Appleby we can fish for
the plentiful wild brownies of Cow Green, high in the designated European
Wilderness Area of the Pennine Fells, or drift the beautiful waters of
Ullswater. Dramatic Haweswater is also nearby,
giving shore-side fly-fishing for brown trout. But the centre of our
activity
is
the Eden,
mostly on private stretches
rather than club waters,
and its
numerous tributaries of such
varied character.
The fishing ranges across extremes in trout and grayling fishing.
There are intimate and unique Pennine becks with their prize of utterly wild brown
trout among tangles of alder, willow and hardwoods, or higher on the open
fell slopes. There is the Lowther and the perfection and challenge of
ultra-spooky, dark-backed fish rising to the upstream dry in ranunculus
channels. This river
provides dry fly fishing which numerous connoisseurs regard as the finest in
England. The upper Eden still feels timeless and exciting, populated
with pure-strain fish, and there is the grandeur of the middle and lower
river. Possibilities are boundless. I have fished the Eden
system for 25 years and to me its fishing remains fresh and thrilling; it's
beauty unsurpassed by any other English river. It is a miracle within
modern Europe.
