Testimonials

Enjoyed a few days with Nicol on the River Dee. I am an occasional salmon fisher who has been struggling to get a decent line out. Nicol had me spey casting proficiently within a few hours. Great value for money and good company too. I should have done this 10 years ago!

Nicol had his work cut out with four salmon fishing newbies - thankfully he has the patience of a saint, he was so encouraging we all learned so much and had a wonderful experience on the mighty Dee. Nicol is a consumate professional and inspired us all. We will most definitely be back. Huge thanks.

I came to Scotland to experience salmon fishing as a complete beginner with no fly fishing experience. Nicol was recommended to us by several experienced anglers and ghillies as the man to help me. He didn’t fail to deliver! What a great guy! Made me feel at ease. He helped me feel happy with the progress and I was fishing by the end of day one and casting a Double Spey! I can’t fault Nicol and actually as a result of my progress, two more of the more experienced guys had lessons with Nicol later in the week. If you are fishing the Dee - whatever level of experience - I think lessons with Nicol are brilliant value. Thank you for making my holiday Nicol.

I had 3 fantastic days with Nicol on the Dee, by the end of which I was successfully and consistently casting left and right double spey and circle c casts. I really learnt line positioning, reading the river and understanding the wind, boosting my confidence enormously. I may not be at my husbands level but can now more then hold my own. Nicol teaches in a way which makes you understand what you are doing and why, meaning you remember and self correct rather than being given a series of movements that you promptly forget by the next day. Thoroughly recommend.

“I sought Nicol’s expertise after several recommendations from local people. I had never fished the River Dee or speycasted before. Nicol has an intimate knowledge of the River Dee having grown up fishing it since childhood. Added to that his technical knowledge is outstanding. Nicol’s true skill however is his instructional ability. He is able to to consistently and flawlessly demonstrate the correct technique, then instantly and accurately identify any faults in your technique. I found his instruction tailored to my experience level and very well delivered. Nicol is personable and professional at all times (and also provides an excellent lunch!) I cannot recommend Nicol’s fly fishing services highly enough.”
