Stillwater Dry Fly Fishing

Martin is known throughout the country for his skill as a Stillwater dry fly angler. He was at the forefront of much of the development in this branch of the sport. If you have struggled to catch the trout when they are rising all around you, or if you want to experience the thrill of casting and catching fish that are visible, then why not book a day afloat at Chew Valley with Martin.

  • A full explanation of the technique involved.
  • The tackle required for this style of fishing will be provided if required.
  • Martin himself ties all the flies, and clients will be free to use them during the session, and may purchase more from Martin if required.
  • Leader construction is explained clearly.
  • Casting techniques (which are quite different from nymph fishing) are explained in detail.
  • On full day trips, a full cooked meal is provided with wine or beer to accompany.

The Stillwater dry fly trips are Martin's most heavily booked. He is regularly asked to give talks on the subject, and has a long list of clients for whom he ties the special flies. Full day or half-day packages can be provided.
