Customer Reviews

The complete (Fly) Angler
A beautiful product.
The careful presentation, devotion to detail and true love of the subject comes across 100%.
By absorbing each lesson and applying the time i have elevated my enjoyment and success rate of fly fishing beyond recognition.
Using Mr Edwards rycophilia/chezch nymphs I had grayling and trout crawling up my rod for 3 days straight on a recent visit to the welsh dee! It feels good when people start to ask you what the going fly is!
Thanks Oliver.
Pure genius.
Enough said.

No nonsense and detailed
This was very comprehensive and covered very well the particular styles of fishing.
I like starting at the beginning with the natural history and then progressing through tying, leader make up, reading the water and then 'going fishing'.
From a selfish point of view, I tend to fast forward through the tying as its not something I practice, but can I fault the DVD for including it ? Not really, because the flies are much more intricate than I've seen in a typical shop and it does form a natural link in the story of observation leading to catching more fish.
The style of presentation also appeals as Oliver Edwards clearly knows how to fish and has spent a lot of time thinking about it, but he comes across as a true enthusiast with little to prove to camera. Consequently the focus is on what is being said and done.
This is a long way from 'chuck it and chance it'.
