Welcome, I’m Del. A Professional Fly-Fishing Tutor & Guide.
Fly-fishing has been my passion since I first cast a line at age 12, chasing wild brown trout in the serene upland tarns of the Lake District. This passion has taken me across the UK and around the globe, competing on the world stage as a regular member of the England team at both the World and European Championships. Now, based in the stunning landscapes of Cumbria and the Eden Valley, I’m privileged to fish—and teach—on some of the most beautiful rivers, lakes, and tarns the region has to offer.
With a solid military background, I bring extensive instructional experience to the table, paired with a simple, relaxed approach to fly-fishing. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I’ll guide you to success in the heart of Cumbria’s angling paradise.
I look forward to meeting you!
