  NICK HART : PROFILE NICKS GALLERY !

Hello and many thanks for checking out our web site.  I have been involved in the business of fly fishing tuition for over 10 years and in that time my company has become one of the most popular fly fishing schools in the UK.  This page provides details regarding my qualifications and career to date.


Fly Fishing Tuition provided by Qualified Instructor, Nick Hart.

At age 35 I have been messing around with fishing rods for in the region of 31 years.  By age 9 I was a fanatical angler and this passion just grew stronger the older I became.  By my late teens I decided to do something about it and pursue a career as a fly fishing instructor.  I was privileged to be coached by top instructor Simon Gawesworth, which is similar to being coached by a top flight football manager or tennis coach!  I have been examined by AAPGAI/ STANIC/LEVEL 2 and found to be qualified to teach fly fishing on a professional basis.  Details of these qualifications can be found below.  I have guided abroad including venues such as Argentina and Spain and have visited Africa, Bahamas, Florida, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Montana and Venezuela with a fly rod in hand.

Nick is a consultant to the prestigious fly fishing company Hardy Greys and a member of the highly acclaimed Hardy Greys Academy.


FLY FISHING QUALIFICATIONS EXPLAINED: Nick Hart holds nationally recognised casting and fishing qualifications.  Here is a quick overview.  The Salmon & Trout Association National Instructors Certificate (STANIC) has been updated to LEVEL 2 by Sport England who now license coaches.  This is a relatively simple exam to pass and ensures that each instructor has been on a child protection course, holds a first aid certificate, has agreed to be checked by the criminal records bureau and has appropriate insurance.  Nick also holds the advanced level qualification known as AAPGAI.  This level is aimed at instructors who teach on a regular basis and in particular requires the candidate to have expert knowledge in many aspects of fly fishing.  Most important of all Nick is a full time fly fishing instructor, similar to a golf pro he teaches people how to wield a fly rod instead of a golf club, averaging 150 days per season.  FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR DAILY COURSES HERE


A PASSION FOR FLY FISHING - A SPORT FOR ALL: I believe that my passion for the sport is the most important qualification I possess.  Fly Fishing is my full time work and yet on my day off, I go fishing!  I do my very best to breath this passion and enthusiasm into every course I organise.  Fly Fishing is a sport for all and is no where near so complicated as many believe.  I have been fortunate enough to teach many hundreds of guests over the years so I am able to spot faults at a glance.  Within a very short time I aim to have each of my clients casting, tying knots and catching fish. Children are welcomed by the way, and often make superb casters.  No marketing gloss.  No clever course names. No imaginative slogans.  My tuition is based on passion and 100% commitment to my guests!  FIND OUT MORE ABOUT FLY FISHING COURSES HERE


MEDIA: In recent years Nick has appeared on BBC Radio 5 and the popular Discovery Home and Leisure series, "Fishing on the Edge".  Most recently Nick has been involved in productions for ITV & BBC2.  Look out for Nick appearing on Henry Gilbeys widely acclaimed series "Wild Fishing", which is regularly repeated on Discovery Shed.  If you would like to purchase a copy of Nicks book "The Essential Guide to Fly Fishing" .... click here
