Learn to Fly cast at Toft:

Learning to fly fish for trout is an exciting prospect for all ages and at Toft we welcome you! The banks of the reservoir lend themselves perfectly to beginners, due to there being minimal obstruction for the back cast and with lots of room, a ’quiet corner’ can always be found. Over the years we have encouraged and taught many new anglers to fish and the learning never stops – for any of us !!

Ring us to make a date and from there we’ll handle everything. We’ll advise you of what you need to bring with you and will lend you all the tackle, flies,net etc that you’ll need for your day. We’ll start by giving you an intense 1 to 1 fly casting session on grass, then move on to the water with advice on fly selection, knots, playing, landing & despatching your trout and answer any questions. Coaching will continue over the day and you’ll be looked after on following visits. With 25 years experience we are here to help.

Fishing for all:

With a mile of uninterrupted, unobstructed bank, a dozen boats and a wheely boat for disabled anglers use, Toft covers all tastes. Bank fishing is consistent throughout the season with fish responding well to all manner of fly fishing methods. Early & late season, fry patterns & lures such as the infamous concrete bowl, viva, appetiser and booby work well on slow sink lines. Spring and summer, floating lines are the order of the day with buzzer patterns, traditional nymphs & wet flies all producing fish.

Boat sport can be fantastic at Toft with a variety of techniques returning fish. ’Loch style’ methods are great & exciting fun – fishing a short cast floating line in front of a drifting boat with three flies such as a Soldier Palmer, Invicta and Pheasant Tail nymph. When the fish are down, a variety of deep fished nymphs and lures will produce and are best fished from drifting boats to give a good chance of covering fish. Our boat ramp provides good accessibility for disabled anglers and staff are on hand to assist with use of the wheelyboat.
