Guided Fishing
The Rectory has two, fully insured Angling Trust accredited fishing coaches who can be hired individually or together for larger groups, by the day or by the hour.
Both Louis and Seth have been anglers for decades, fly fishing for salmon and trout, coarse fishing and sea angling. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced angler, they would be happy to show you The Rectory and the best techniques to catch the wide variety of species in this special part of the Wye.
