About Me
I'm Karl Humphries.
My first introduction to fly fishing was in the late 60’s on the Isle of Man, fishing the small but productive River Sulby. Since those early days I have worked to become a Master Instructor and assessor in both Casting (single handed and double handed rods) and Fly Dressing. I have demonstrated casting techniques all over the globe, even demonstrating to The Queen and Prince Philip. As a qualified instructor I am able to help clients in any aspect of game angling and fly fishing, be it on river, stillwater or saltwater. I am based in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire but have clients thought the country. I am as keen today about fly fishing as I was as a young boy and still spend many happy hours fishing around the world, meeting interesting people and seeing spectacular creatures and scenery - as there is always more to fishing than just catching fish! Although it’s always a great feeling when one jumps on the line. Besides running The Adipose Fin I work with Get Hooked on Fishing, a registered charity (No. 1132448) aimed at offering young people a brighter future through angling activities. I also serve on the committees of The Prince Albert Angling Society and the Grayling Society. “Wild thing you make my Reel Sing” |
