Paul & Susan Sissons - Small River/Urban fishing

It is said that 80% of fish are caught by 20% of anglers (maybe). It is most likely that 80% of fish are caught on simple flies. Keep it simple and go for those unusual patterns when necessary, less than 20% of the time. We’ll show simple flies especially for river fishing and some for lakes. 10-15 patterns each; for 80% of your fishing on rivers and lakes.

Paul and Susan Sissons come from Bolsover in Derbyshire England. We’ve been Flyfishing for 15 years, we are both involved with the England Lady Flyfishers Team, Paul as Manager and Susan as member and twice gold medal winning Captain. We’ve been involved in Home International and European Flyfishing Championships and fish both Lakes and Rivers which is required for all round competition.
We fish the rivers and reservoirs of the English Midlands regularly, but do travel to fish abroad when we can.

We are both licensed coaches in the UK.

Our talk will focus on small/medium river fishing, the flies and the methods. Focussed on Urban rivers (fishing on the cheap!), but to be honest the flies and methods are the same; you just need to identify the method to the type of water you’re fishing for the time of year.

We’ll have some of the flies available along with a few DVD’s. Come and have a chat.

Jon Sigurdsson - Iceland

Jon Sigurdsson, FishIceland.com

Whilst Iceland is synonymous with events such as the financial crisis, Eyjafjallajökull (yes, you remember the pesky volcano which spewed ash and closed European airspace) and recent tussles over mackerel quotas (ok, let's not go there), it has never been a better time to plan a fishing trip to the land of fire and ice.

In his enlightening presentation Jon Sigurdsson sets out to dispel some of the myths associated with this amazing island and open your eyes to a world of fly-fishing opportunities for salmon, trout and Arctic char to suit all pockets.

Let's face it, your money now goes further than before, the volcano has gone back to sleep and there are plenty more fish in the sea. ;-)

In 2008 Jon established FishIceland in partnership with FishPal Ltd, the internet's leading provider of online booking and information for the angling community. FishIceland's comprehensive website, coupled with Jon’s dedication to providing an unrivalled level of service, means that planning your fishing trip to Iceland couldn’t be easier.
