A day that we’ll remember fondly for a very long time. We took a fly fishing lesson at Albury Estate, guided by Marc. Albury Estate is a peaceful and beautiful setting with a cabin serving hot drinks and snacks. Marc’s extensive knowledge of fishing was evident as he guided us through the lesson. We started the day as novices and Marc’s excellent tutoring got us to being able to catch fish in just a few hours. Marc was patient and attentive throughout the lesson. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to try fly fishing in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.

An amazing lesson… I had a 3 hour lesson with Marc, who took me through different casts with different flys explaining how techniques change depending on what water you are in and what tackle you are using. Then over a cup of coffee, showed me different flys and explained the life cycle of the May Fly, which was fascinating. I learnt so much in a short time, and gave me enough to feel as though I can give it a go on my own. Thanks Marc.

I was a beginner and had a great morning of instruction from Marc. He explained things carefully and clearly, covering what I felt were all the key topics including the equipment, casting technique, environmental factors and knot tying. He followed up with an email giving me links to additional resources (apps & videos). He is a very experienced fisherman and I'm sure he could teach those that have some experience, but as a beginner I would whole heartedly recommend him and I may well be.back for some more advanced instruction. I really enjoyed my morning. Thank you Marc!

Marc was an excellent guide who really showed me the basics and advanced skills. Lots of action too with 1 hooked, 1 chaser, and 1 sightfish. A great teacher for skills and guiding.

I had the pleasure of spending a morning under the Tuition of Marc O'Regan. My intention was for Marc to iron out my bad habits that I had picked up in my cast.Marc took me back to basics, and saw where my faults were.I had an extremely informative morning with Marc and would be happy to try and spend another period with him, in order to advance my casting technique.

Marc was an absolute pleasure to work with. Prior to the trip, he provided lots of reading material and photos/videos to demonstrate the rich history of the River Avon. He bent over backwards to accommodate me coming from the states and made the journey as easy as possible for an American visiting England for the first time. While on the water, Marc was able to introduce me to new techniques and is truly a master of his craft, seamlessly teaching you about the history of fly fishing while also helping you learn new techniques. As a lifelong fly fisherman, I still learned new things from Marc that I will take back with me. Most importantly, Marc put me on so many fish, it was truly a day I will never forget! I'm very much looking forward to my next trip with Marc...

Incredible day at beautiful Albury with Marc- who was so patient and calm. My first experience fishing and caught 2 fish, one a Spartic Trout! - very memorable day - I can’t wait to return.

Marc the owner, said he had a colleague available to fish. I then paid for trip online, purchased fishing licensees and then he canceled on us! He stated he would give a refund minus the transaction fee. I requested full refund for the trip and to refund for $17 for 2 fishing licenses that were purchased due to his error. No response from Marc…. Lost $60 due to his booking error and not a happy fisherman!

Amazing morning, beautiful location. We were complete beginners but Marc was very patient, very knowledgable and somehow we caught very handsome trout! Would definitely recommend this course

My 13-year-old son recently had the opportunity to receive fly fishing training at a pond near our area. The trainer was experienced and provided him with guidance on the basics of fly fishing techniques, including casting and reeling. It was a hands-on experience that allowed him to practice his skills in a natural environment. Overall, it was a valuable training session that prepared him for future fly-fishing adventures. Thank you, Marc, for a wonderful day and a good gravlax recipe. The fish was tasty.

This was a great experience. My teacher Terry was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, he phoned me two days before the lesson to understand what I wanted from the lesson, which was really useful. The three hour lesson was superb, he is a great teacher and at the end I understood the principles of casting the fly for trout very well.I definitely recommend this company, and also the venue at Albury was excellent.

Yesterday had a superb 3 hr session with Marc learning the absolute basics of fly fishing. He is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable and skilled, with a very relaxed and encouraging style of teaching.

As a guide from the USA I wanted to fly fish somewhere awesome in the UK and learn some new tricks to bring back home. Marc went above and beyond my expectations! Marc is very knowledgeable on many aspects of fishing and stays up-to-date with cutting edge techniques and tricks. You will NOT be disappointed.

We had a great day with Terry and he proved a good instructor although we disnt catch any trout - not his fault but both felt we had learnt a lot to help us cast better and which flies to useMany thanks

My 13 year old son and I had a great time with Marc learning to fly fish. The setting was lovely and his expertise was amazing. He took plenty of time to explain everything to us carefully and we learnt a lot. We got 4 fish on the hook and landed 2. It is only 30 mins from central London so is great daytime execursion. I highly recommend it.

Graham Smith

Marc is brilliant. As a complete novice I went from zero to confident caster in three hours and even took home my first trout. I would highly recommend We Fly Fish if you want to get taught properly. Or maybe just brush up on your technique ?

New to fly fishing and booked a tuition with Marc who i have to say made me feel so comfortable, Giving me information and advice which i could relate too. Had a great day and would totally advise newbies like myself to take a lesson as it will surely set you up on your fly fishing adventure. Cheers Marc

We Fly Fish - Marc - We had our day hosted with Marc from 'We Fly Fish' and had a fantastic time. I know very little about fishing and a total beginner at Fly Fishing, my other half knew a bit but wanted to know more hence booking the day as a Birthday gift. I'm glad we did. Marc was fantastic, amazingly friendly, welcoming and easy to talk to. He had great knowledge and enthusiasm. He gave us everything we needed for the session and all in lovely condition. There was a toilet and cafe nearby which was great when we stopped off for a coffee break and pastry refresh. The area we fished was beautiful and fish very healthy. I'd certainly reccomend this as an experience. Do bring clothing suitable for the weather. An absolutely excellent day with a friendly and talented guy. Marc thank you for your time with us we really appreciated it and had a fantastic time with our new knowledge of Fly Fishing the right way. Thank you.

My 16 year old son had an excellent, very wet and muddy, lesson with Marc. His ability to inform on small tweaks to make the perfect cast showed his skill of teaching. In no time at all during lesson one it was like he'd been fly fishing for a long period of time. Along with being good company and full of extra information I couldn't recommend Marc highly enough. My son is now looking forward to his next lesson!

I've just received a brilliant 3 hours stillwater tuition with Marc at Albury. I been trout fishing for several months but it was becoming obvious that I needed advice and instruction on my technique when casting if I was to improve. Marc was just the answer & this was demonstrated as I improved with every cast. Marc has also followed up support for reading and types of equipment I'm interested in purchasing.

Marc was great. His instructions were clear. I am not an easy client as I learned many wrong techniques. He made me comfortable and also supplied many useful fly fishing resources and places for me to visit. I will work with him in the next couple of month so that my confidence and basic skills will make fly fishing. Top men. !!

A great day learning new skills with Marc who was extremely knowledgable and a great coach. After four hours guidance with Marc I went from total beginner to feeling confident enough to start fishing on my own and staring my fly fishing journey. My lesson was at the Vale End (Albury Estate) and the team there were super welcoming too and have been ever since. I highly recommend a lesson with the We Fly Fish team and I look forward to when I'm good enough to start fishing more advanced rivers with them on an intermediate course.

Marc was fantastic. Arrived with all the equipment required and he was super knowledgeable. Once he taught us the basics of casting and how to reel in our catch, he let us loose on the water and lent a hand if he felt it needed. Has some great stories too! 100% recommend.

I booked a 4 hour lesson as a present for my daughter's 29th birthday and we had a brilliant day. Marc is a great teacher and excellent company.From our very first contact, all communication was clear, timely and reassuring with some helpful video homework. We'll definitely be back. Can't recommend We Fly Fish highly enough.

What a fantastic lesson with Marc, as a complete beginner he was patient in explaining the concepts and making sure I got plenty of hands-on practise - to top it off I even managed to catch a trout (After losing one from on the line right at the start of the lesson, I was delighted to get a second chance and land it!)

I had such a positive experience. I valued Marc's patience and encouragement. He was generous in sharing his knowledge and sent me further information for me to follow up on. I immediately felt at ease and he answered all my questions. I think it was because he helped me have a good first experience of fly fishing that I am now looking into getting my own gear. Thoroughly recommend him

I had a wonderful morning with Marc. As a complete novice Marc went at my pace to help me understand and start to get to grips with the basics of casting, various different techniques and different flies. I'll definitely be back and looking forward to further coaching with Marc in the future.

Thank you Marc for great two days fly fishing. We thoroughly enjoyed it . Harrison learned so much in the two days and I did as well. It was great to do something I would never normally do . A great place to fish and the weather was perfect. We would both recommend the two days as you will learn so much . Thank you again Marc for your patience and expertise. Marcus and Harrison Smith

I have little to no experience of fishing, let alone fly fishing. A friend and I met Marc for an introductory session in Albury and absolutely loved it. Marc's super informative and encouraging in equal measure, which makes for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I'd highly recommend giving it a go, regardless of your experience. Thank you Marc!

Met Marc for my first proper fly fishing lesson. A very enjoyable and informative three hours. Marc is very knowledgeable and patient! A full three hour session. The location (Albury) was great with a nice tea room for an breakfast roll and coffee. I would happily book with Marc again for a refresher.

Great day with Marc. First time fly fishing and Marc was superb in walking me through the theory and practising my casting. I highly reccomend Marc as an instructor, he is very experienced and a very nice person. Managed to get my first trout too!

Tom Rogers

I had a fantastic fly fishing lesson with Marc who patiently took me through all of the basic techniques and information. I even caught a trout with with my last cast which was a welcome surprise. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone that wants to get into, or develop, their fly fishing skills.

We had an excellent experience with Marc and his colleague on the River Avon. A bit different than what we typically experience in the American West and Western North Carolina, so his guidance was greatly appreciated. Our first time fishing on a chalk stream was a highlight for our family.
