Fishing Wales: Andrew Cartwright Game Angling - Fishing Visit Wales

Andrew Carter

Situated in the Upper Severn Valley at Caersws, I have been fly fishing for about 30 years. I am passionate about Trout and Grayling fishing in the upper Severn and the conservation and well-being of the River.

I would like to share my passion by teaching both children and adults in all forms of fly casting, tying, game angling, spinning and bait casting. I am....

Casting Instruction

Tuition
I am a qualified coach able to teach fly casting. I can teach all abilities from absolute beginners breaking into the sport through to more experienced anglers wanting to iron out existing problems, refine their skills or master casting techniques such as roll casting, the use of hauling and double hauling casting to improve fishing in windy conditions and presentation casts.

Any problems that you have can be corrected!

I can offer advise and guidance on the correct tackle required for whatever type of fly fishing you want to do.

If you are interested in learning the art of fly tying I can teach you how to tie your own salmon, trout and grayling flies.

Tuition and coaching can be provided here in Caersws or at a place of your choice*. I am the resident coach at Onnivale Trout Fishery, Minsterly

River Wye

Guiding
I can offer a guiding service on the rivers and stillwaters of Wales and the Borders, for trout and grayling and also give advice on where and how to fish, whatever location you may choose.
Guiding can be offered on a one to one basis or in groups. In the winter months I can run guiding trips for grayling fishing, showing where and how to fish for them. You can enjoy fishing in some of the most picturesque parts of the country and catch some lovely fish. If you require a longer stay I can sort out accommodation for you, or provide you with information so you can make your own arrangements.
Grayling Fishing Days Out
I will be running grayling fishing days on the Severn, Wye and the river Dee during the winter months, as it is impossible to know what the weather will be doing, a month or a week or so in advance, if you e-mail me to say you are interested, i will put you on a secure file, then when the weather and the grayling are playing the game, I will get in touch to arrange a day out on which ever river is fishing best at the time, this will save being disappointed when the river is not in good shape and possible traveling a long way.

Additional charges
Pre-agreed mileage charge to your chosen water if excessive distance.
