Just some of the incredible Brown Trout caught in 2025!
Just some of the incredible Brown Trout caught in 2025!

What an astounding year it has been, filled with remarkable trips and the formation of numerous new friendships. It has been an absolute delight to organize and meet people from all corners of the globe, including Australia, the USA, Canada, Alaska, and France, just to mention a few.


A huge thank you goes out to all the fishery managers who have placed their trust in me and allowed me to guide on their waters in various conditions. In Scotland, it can be challenging when guests have just one day to fish and the conditions aren't ideal. However, being in Scotland, we simply have to manage and always have a plan B.


Its all about fly fishing.

People frequently ask me about the best time to visit, and my response is to simply pick a date, mark it on the calendar, and we'll head out to see what unfolds. I fish in all kinds of weather throughout the year, and each day offers a unique experience. The best approach is to commit and enjoy the adventure. I meticulously plan everything, but the fish and the weather remain beyond my control!


Scotland its such a beautiful place.

So that's a wrap on the Brown Trout Season but plenty of trips planned for Pike, Perch and Grayling over the next few months. I will also be doing loads of research with new venues trying to make sure I am always offering people who book the very best Scotland can offer. As well as all the usual things winter brings like casting lessons, servicing life jackets, tying flies, cleaning and replacing gear and of course planning for next year.

I was absolutely thrilled to discover that I have won this award. I began Kingfisher Guides as an enjoyable way to share my love for fishing, teach fly casting, and connect with many wonderful people. It has truly been a fantastic experience meeting individuals from around the globe and forming genuine friendships with those who return each year. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported me along the journey and to the amazing guests who have left reviews. I truly appreciate it. I never imagined that a small company offering fishing trips could rank in the top 10% of attractions worldwide!


Anyway enough of awards what's been going on with the fishing. Well as you know July has been very hot and water temperatures far too hot for fishing! So for a couple of weeks I did not fish at all and then the only fishing was very early morning or late evening until temperatures started to drop. I did however have some great session teaching people to cast which is always great fun. Now we are into August I am expecting the wind and the rain to return which is great for the fishing maybe not so much me!


A few pictures below from some of the outing. Don't forget to keep up to date by following me on instagram or Facebook.

Kingfisher Guides Store.

I'm always adding new flies and products to the store if you fancy a quick look click the link below.


May has been one of the best I can remember with loads of big fish caught, new friends made and just a real good time on the water. Remember fishing isn't just about catching fish its about being there and immersing your self in the environment. Relaxing and taking yourself away from every day life is so important and fishing in my opinion ticks all the boxes.
