The Secret Trout Pool!

When I am not working as a Fly Fishing Instructor, you will find me fishing! If I am not fishing I will be found working on my own little fishery. The Secret Trout Pool is hidden away somewhere near the village of Bradfield on the edge of the Peak District. It is tiny but perfect when I am teaching total beginners, it is only every fished by my clients and only occasionally so the fish are very obliging! It's great for people to be able to learn some basic skills in total privacy without other anglers watching.

There is a cracking hatch of flies including a wonderful hatch of Damsels. At the minute I am raising the water level slightly with the construction of a new dam over the outlet and well as trying to regular survey the fly hatches through out the year.
