Fly-fishing with Jim Fearn
Jim Fearn is an experienced and qualified fly-fishing instructor, in both trout and salmon disciplines. Having fished extensively throughout Northern England, Scotland, Russia, Norway and Montana, Jim’s passion for fly-fishing and fly-casting has grown from strength to strength, now teaching for over twenty years.
Jim offers a range of services and lessons, including the basic introduction to fly-fishing, to improver and advanced lessons in fly casting. These lessons are 1.5-3 hours and available or £45 per hour.
If you’re looking for something a little more niche, then why not join a guiding session on the River Ribble, these are 3-hour (£120 a session), or 6-hour in duration (£240 a session), and can be tailored to salmon or trout fishing.
In the Summer months, we also offer evening guiding sessions, where not only will you explore guiding in further detail, along the river, but also take in the Ribble Valley sunset at the same time.
Interested? Why not book a session alongside your stay at Mytton Fold Hotel. Contact our reception team upon booking to enquire about our fly-fishing sessions.
