Many thanks for the superb photo and what was a truly
memorable day out in Rutland. Alex and I had a great
time and catching the trout was a real treat. I
thoroughly enjoyed the expert tuition and will be
pursuing fly fishing as a sport, but will also bear in
mind your location and facilities to keep the "other
half" contented! Stuart Cattell July 2011

Thanks for a great stay at the lodge,and a great day
fishing.
I managed to get a few hours casting practice
yesterday, "tight,tight,release."
Hope to return in October if my work rotation
permits. Ged Breslin Bagdad. July 2011

Thanks for a great day last Friday, I really enjoyed it. The instruction was relaxed, the Lunch was great and the fishing was superb. Add all that to the satisfaction of catch, kill and cook of self caught trout and the day could not have been any better. It is safe to say that you have converted at least one man to Fly Fishing on Rutland Water. I’m sure I’ll see you again. Scott Kelly MOD Salisbury July 2011 |
Just a
short note to thank you for a truly great experience! The fact
that I caught a trout was something else. Many thanks again for
a day which ticked all the boxes!!! Dave Mann July

Very enjoyable day and thanks for the good hospitality. Hope to
see you again soon as I seem to have the bug. |
| A wonderful entertaining, informative and educational, what more could be asked of from a speaker. You did exactly what the BBC attempts to do and that is enthral an audience for an evening. Very well done! Edward Catton-orr Hertfordshore Branch of the Fly Dressers Guild. December 2011 |
| Hi Rob, how's it going pal. Will be down next year and your place will be first choice, promise! I ended up top rod out of 100 in the competition, thanks to you telling me about that area where you caught a big bag, when we spoke at Rutland. Cheers Ewan Clark (Top scottish competition angler) Dec 2011 |

Thanks for the pictures. I would like to thank you for a great day. Having been coarse fishing since I was little (that’s too long ago to mention), this really was my first try at the dark art of Fly Fishing. Your expert tuition and obvious enthusiasm made it most enjoyable and has definitely planted the seed. I have already started looking to get kitted out now, searching the internet sites for that elusive bargain. You have a terrific setup there and Rutland water is a most impressive venue so I won’t hesitate to spread the word to all I know. Anybody interested in getting to learn about Fly Fishing, or those that are already experts, should do it at the Lakeside Guest Accommodation on the Water's Edge and Fly Fishing Adventures on Rutland Water. I’ll definitely be back to take on the boats and hopefully get at least one of those trout at the other end of my own line. John Clayton Essex Thanks for the
photos a great memento of our weekend. |
| Thanks
for a great day. That one pull I will remember for the rest
of my life.
If I had caught 5 fish the day would not have been as
special as having to fight so hard for the take.... and what
a fish Thanks Same place same time next year Robert Shelton, Bolton Abbey North Yorkshire Rob, Thanks also to you and all your guides for a fantastic day which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We really appreciated your efforts to ensure that everyone was having a good time and it is that which helped make the day.
You will be glad to
hear that the barbeque was a great success and the trout
was fantastic although having also had trout for dinner
last night, I could probably do with some red meat for
dinner today...Thanks again and we hope to come and see
you again soon.

Rob Many thanks
for such an enjoyable and rewarding day at
Rutland Water. When the fish arrived at
home my wife was genuinely surprised at the
size and quality of the fish!! The 'kids'
(23 and 19) were also suitable impressed.
I will now go on and
practise the cast - no limp wrist, no stiff
arm.....
I want to fish the water again (and again)!! Paul ODay Worcester |

Rob, we
had a great time, thank you.
Last night we enjoyed a supper of Trout and
fine wine, it tasted so much better knowing we
had caught it.
Timing was brilliant and look forward to
seeing you again when maybe you can give us some
instruction on your fancy casting! Tim Watkins

Hi Rob – thank you so much for all your help with that – the boys really enjoyed it and haven’t stopped talking about it since. Really liked the photos – until I saw the ones of Angie with a far bigger fish! It was a thoroughly enjoyable day that I think will make a great article. Martin and I hope we will be able to draw upon your expertise in the future. Guy & Amander Meade, writing an article in Rutland Living Magazine. Angie Vaites from Nottingham, loved her day so much, she rang Chris Evans on Radio 2 to tell him about her first rainbow trout she caught after having lessons from Rob Waddington!! Just a quick thank you for the other week, your help and hospitality was second to none and I’ll definitely be recommending you & your accommodation to anyone I know who’s fishing in the area.

Just wanted to thank you for the Monday evening lesson. (spey
casting prior to a Norway trip) I will definitely book a day out on Rutland with you for when I am next in the UK, and hope to fish other waters with you one day. I really enjoyed our session and think it will help me alot. Hope you have an outrageous trip to the Varzuga, I've been reading about it on the salmonjunkie blog. I think I have to go there next year! Chris Campion, Paris |

Rob
First of all let me say what a pleasure it was to enjoy your
company, passion, sense of humour and warm friendliness. I can
honestly say that the team all had a great day, and that was
down to you.
Testimonial;
"Rob Waddington is the type of guy that can take a total group
of novices on a corporate day out and ensure they have lots of
fun, gain lots of learning and bond even better as a team. His
fly-fishing skills are second to none, he is a good teacher but
more than anything else his warm, friendly and jovial spirit are
infectious and make for a great day.
I
would recommend Rob to any corporate client who wants to learn a
new skill but more importantly bond closer as a team. "

Review of the 4 hour Boat Fishing Adventure. Firstly I have never been fly fishing before and although very excited about the day I was also very apprehensive as well. Those initial fears very quickly dispelled as I met Rob and put me at ease very quickly and we had a quick impromptu lesson BEFORE the day started. Once on the boat Rob used all his knowledge and expertise to place us in the correct position to hopefully catch fish. He clearly explained different techniques we could use to locate then catch fish. He went through his thoughts and worries about each position before selecting our fishing location. We caught fish immediately and had a fantastic day. The day was beyond my expectations and Rob was fantastic and very patient with me !! Thanks. Chris Norman, April 2011 Rob hi,
Very many thanks for a most
interesting and informative day. Absolutely brilliant! And also
thanks for the trout. Karen says it is just a little smaller
than the one I would have caught!
It was good to put the technique of
casting into life. No matter how many books read or dvd's
watched it is simply not the same as having that expert hand.
Now I practice. I did find when out on the boat that when I
started to apply what you had said, in particular the slowing
down, my casting became smooth and easy. And the great bonus was
added distance and a more delicate presentation.
The other great thing I found was
that the day was not just about casting. With enough practice I
think just about anyone would be able to cast a fly well. It was
all the rest, entomology, weather, fish habits etc that all
together made the day and 'switched the lights on' !
Even my wife was impressed! She did
mention, where can we get the roll of clear plastic tube you use
when bagging up the fish. See, you are now going to cost me more
money!!
Seriously, thanks for a great day. I
am now looking forward to my next trip to Rutland. What a
difference to Narborough.
See you soon.

Hi Rob,
thank you very much
for the pictures. They are very much appreciated. I also wanted to
thank you for a great day's fishing. I learned so much from you
and am very keen to learn more [ and improve my casting ]
Your patience and sense of humour were very much appreciated.
The way in which the day was planned was absolutely superb and the
content was just right. Alot of things that I had read about in
the past now make alot more sense. The amount of thought and time
that you have put into the content of what you teach on the day
were obvious and your going that extra mile with things like
the lovely lunch, the hat, the photos and your cleaning and
bagging the fish all made for a fantastic day which you taught in
a friendly and relaxed way. Having said that I'm still
bloody envious of your fishing shed!
Thank's once
again Rob, it was great to fish with an expert. I'd
love to do it again and will definitely give you a ring [ Will
also write to Into the Blue about how good a day it was]
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT
MATE!!!!!
Take
care....Phil Ismay 30/6/08
