Martyn Green - Coarse, Sea & Game Angling - Totnes

 

As an angling coach, qualified teacher, writer and all-round angler with a particular interest in light tackle, including LRF (Light Rock Fishing), ISO fishing etc., I have fished in the sea, in rivers and in stillwaters for a variety of species using both traditional methods and the latest, most up-to-date approaches, including several that I invented myself. I wrote ‘Why Sea Fishing with Lighter Tackle Rocks’ to share my passion for this style of fishing and have since worked with individuals, groups and families to help them enjoy some wonderful sport.

As a fully qualified Angling Trust tridiscipline  - coarse, game and sea fishing - coach and coach educator, I offer coaching in all traditional – and many new - forms of coarse, game and sea angling to not only help people to catch fish but also to have a great deal of fun in the process. I want my clients to really enjoy their time with me and can cater for all individuals regardless of age or experience, whether it be light rock fishing, float, beachcasting, bass or many other techniques, be they coarse, game or sea. I particularly enjoy helping people learn the art of fly fishing for trout, saltwater predators like bass and, in the stillwaters, fly fishing for carp, which give a sensational fight, and several other coarse species.

I can also help with casting, rig design and construction and fly dressing across all three disciplines. I coach a number of light tackle techniques, including estuary style fishing, e.g. for mullet and bass, pole fishing in the sea – absolutely terrific and very simple for not only children but people of all ages - hybrid fly tackles, float, leger, spinning across a variety of styles and inshore boat fishing, whether it be on your own boat or one chartered for the day. I am also fully equipped to target the opposite end of the scale with beachcasters and distance rigs from shore or heavier species like rays from boat.

I am also building a series of YouTube videos to help my clients and others with their fishing, all of which can be found on my website:

The Arundell Fly Fishing School Arundell Arms - Lifton, Devon

Learn To Fly Fish at One of England’s Premier Westcountry Fishing Hotels
 Recently voted ‘Best Fishing School in the UK’ by The Field magazine.
The Arundell Arms Hotel has six, professional instructors available. Four of our instructors hold the prestigious AAPGAI (Advanced) qualifications, two in single handed and two in single and double-handed fishing disciplines.  Our team is led by David Pilkington, a single-handed master and double-handed advanced who has taught literally thousands of people to fly-fish over forty years.
We control the fishing rights on seven different rivers, the Tamar and six tributaries, all natural spate rivers draining the moors and high ground of the Westcountry. With private fishing on a total of 22 miles of riverbank, you will have up to a mile of water to yourself for the day. Please note that this is very important when learning to fish – we do not teach on club waters where you have to share your stretch of river with a number of other anglers.
Learn to Fish at The Arundell - Fishing Tuition can be arranged for individuals and groups of up to 10 anglers for both residents and non-residents of the hotel. We also run regular two-day courses.  We cater for all abilities from total beginners up to experienced anglers looking to improve and learn advanced techniques. Specialities of the house are lessons in: beginner’s trout fishing, river fishing techniques for wild trout, night fishing for sea trout, modern spey casting and salmon fishing, estuary and open-coast bass fly fishing and much more.
Westcountry River Fishing Lessons at the Arundell  - All tackle and wader hire are included in the cost of tuition, and we have a comprehensive tackle shop on site. We teach fishing. We run courses for beginners. We sell tackle, give advice and provide maps of our fishing. It is all this and more which makes The Arundell a real fisherman’s hotel.
“From the very beginning of the fishing season I’ve always felt that I’ve been talking to knowledgeable friends rather than instructors”. Michael Haines
