Peaks Fly Fishing

Hello!

My name is David. I am a professional fly fishing coach and I also run an online fly shop  (Messing about in rivers for a living). 

As with most pro fly fishing guides & coaches, I learned to fish as a child aged 11. Stalking the rivers and streams of the Peak District, I honed my craft over many years, gaining a deep understanding of the local water and the creatures that live in them. 

I now live near Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District. I am married with children and enjoy working my two labradors through the Winter months.

I am a Field cup winner, author and fly fishing film maker. I also record a monthly podcast which is published on this channel. Even after all these years I still get excited about fishing and fly fish for many different species such as Trout, Pike, Perch & Roach. 

I also love fly fishing for Salmon as well as saltwater fly fishing. Feel free to comment,  I may remove any abusive or off topic comments. Tight lines!
