Paul A. Fishlock B.A. B.Sc.
With over thirty-five years of fishing experience
Paul has to be passionate about his sport. Having
been introduced to angling by his Grandfather
who was a water bailiff, Paul has been privileged
to fish in many exotic locations but has found
his real home in the Highlands of Scotland, where
the fishing and surroundings are second to none.
After a successful career in the City, Paul undertook
a course in Fisheries Management as a mature student
and attained a first class Degree. He managed
a beat on the River Tay for five years and is
now a well respected fishing guide. He is both
a member of the Tay Liaison Committee looking
after trout and coarse fishing for the catchment
and a bailiff for the Salmon Fisheries Board.
As an added bonus Paul speaks French and some
German.
Paul has been teaching fly-fishing for over
25 years, is a qualified Level II angling
coach and many an angler has experienced their
first fish, be they trout or salmon in his enjoyable
company. Whether you want to learn the art for
the first time or just want to improve on existing
skills, he is always willing to oblige. Instruction
is offered in both single and double-handed (Spey
casting) methods as well as spinning, trolling
and bait casting.
Fly-Dressing & Tying
Paul not only ties his own flies but is happy
to share his skills with guests. An evening demonstration
and instruction can be arranged. Doubles, trebles
and tube flies are very popular today, but Paul
is keen to promote a return to the traditionally
dressed salmon patterns on singles. Not only do
they give aesthetic pleasure, but they are as
effective as ever, and can even out perform modern
styles.
