“Brilliant with the kids”
Very welcoming and a patient teacher. Brilliant with the kids (who both caught a trout!) and kind to the adults who didn’t. Wonderful morning out despite a little rain. Thank you so much! Will – July 2020
“A magical place and a wonderful experience.”
Jonathan was great. He even drove us around the area after fishing and told us some history of Ireland. We received a lesson prior to fishing on casting and using the fishing gear. We fished off some rocks by the sea. A magical place and a wonderful experience. Janet – October 2019
“Eleven Trout were caught this morning. “
Had an excellent day. There was no pressure. Eleven Trout were caught this morning. I was casting as soon as we were on location after an initial lesson. Jonathon was very patient with me and kept observing my beginners technique and showing me the correct way to do things. I loved every part of the experience and felt confident to carry on with my new found skills. Jon – October 2019
“…we learned a lot about fly fishing.”
We had a great time and caught several small trout. The lakes we fished were remote and secluded, and we learned a lot about fly fishing. Definitely recommend! Micaella – September 2019

“…Jonathan gave us good advice…”
Fly fishing with Jonathan was a very nice experience. Unfortunately, there was too much sun so that we could catch a lot of fishes, but Jonathan gave us good advice and we could fish from a small boat on a lake, which was really pleasant. We definitely recommend him! Marie – August 2019
“… it was a lot of fun fishing with Jonathan! “
We met Jonathan outside his home in a relaxed atmosphere and after a short introduction we were able to start the experience. Fly fishing, as we learned, is mostly about technique and as I never had the chance before we started with the basics. Casting properly is a real challenge but Jonathan was patient and helped me understand how to do it best. After some practice we went to a nearby lake to test the newly learned skills! Just fyi: if you’re offered boots, take them! Some lakes more than others require a bit of wandering through wetlands and it might indeed be helpful. Once we arrived at the lake it was windy so it was a challenge to properly cast but after a few attempts I got the hang of it. We saw a lot of trout leaping that day and we tried various flies but due to the weather conditions we did not catch well. However, it was a brilliant experience and it was a lot of fun fishing with Jonathan! Philip – August 2019
“For total beginners he made it a fun and interesting experience.”
We had never fished before, let alone tried fly fishing. Jonathan was very patient with us and took us on a real adventure. We both certainly came away feeling like we could cast…. maybe only one in 10 attempts though! For total beginners he made it a fun and interesting experience. Would definitely recommend.

“…tailored the fishing trip exactly as we’d hoped. “
Jonathan is a true local, who listened to our requirements and tailored the fishing trip exactly as we’d hoped. He’s a great guy, the fishing was superb and we’d recommend him to anyone visiting the area who wants a unique experience. Nothing was too much trouble and he took the booking at short notice, with great communication. Julia – June 2019
