I wanted to learn fly fishing for many years now, and I am thrilled that I waited for Jonathan to teach me. He has the patience of a Saint, and knows the area inside out. He tailored the experience exactly to what we needed - my husband is an avid fly fisher so Jonathan shared with him the best spots to go at the two locations we went to, as well as some specific advise on what flies to use best. For me as a complete novice, he first taught me to cast on land, as all is about the form, and then he got me to the best spots to catch fish. It was quite windy on that day, but Jonathan always knew exactly the best way to cast, the best spots to get out of the wind, and how to best attract the fish. After initially showing me what to do, he let me do my own thing but was always close to give feedback on what to do better when I wanted it, or to try and cast to a different spot to see if that would work better. He was very attentive and made sure I did not slip when we walked around wet and muddy rocks. We would had never found the two lakes we fished in on our own, and loved the locations - fishing in Connemara truly is magic! WE both caught fish, and Jonathan always had a story to share, and was a great person to get to know. If you have a chance to come to Connemara to fly-fish, make sure to use Jonathan's expertise for a fabulous time. Thank you for all, we will be back for sure!!! Kat & Mike

Had a great few hours fishing with Jonathan. It was my 5 year old sons dream to catch a fish on his holiday and that he did, 4 in fact. Jonathan could not have been nicer to us, he in particular was brilliant with my son spending time teaching and helping him. I was very impressed and would recommend this experience to all. We went to a beautiful little beach and ended up staying there for the whole day after the experience was over. Thanks again Jonathan for a super fishing experience.

We had a wonderful morning fly fishing with Jonathan. Tramped through a wood and some boggy marshland to get to a beautiful lake at the top of a mountain which we'd never have seen without him. Jonathan was patient, friendly and full of enthusiasm which made the experience memorable and fun for all. We were a group of 2 adults and young adults/children of 18, 13, 12 and 7.

I really enjoyed the fly fishing experience. Jonathon is a real expert, and took us to a lake which was well off the beaten track. I'd definitely give fly fishing another shot,and i'll try to follow the instructions a bit better next time 😃.

We had a wonderful time fly fishing with Jonathan! Jonathan was friendly, engaging and patient. He took his time when he was showing us what to do and made sure we got some practice in and felt comfortable in what we were doing before we went to the lake. We had a great time chatting and are looking forward to joining Jonathan again the next time we're out West. I would highly recommend Jonathan and his experiences :)
