There are few better places to try Saltwater Fly Fishing than along the South Coast of England. With miles of beautiful beaches, numerous inlets, harbours, and estuaries, it attracts many saltwater species. The Solent itself, with yachts gracing its waves and the occasional Spitfire roaring overhead, is the perfect venue.
Welcome
Solent Saltwater Fly Fishing
What’s On Offer?
Shore-based saltwater fly fishing at selected marks along the beautiful South Coast between Pagham and Poole to introduce anglers to this wonderful and rapidly expanding sport. The primary target species is always bass but mullet can be targeted if they present themselves in sufficient numbers, while mackerel and garfish can be caught in the summer months.
Guiding is conducted between May and October, inclusive, and is always best on spring tides. There are usually only 6 – 8 such tides per month so the days on offer are always limited. Please email us with an approximate time window and we will find a suitable date and good time.

“A great day’s bass fishing with Michael. His experience, local knowledge and sound advice enabled me to catch my first bass on the fly at a venue where both experienced and inexperienced anglers can thrive with varied fishing opportunities over a large area of water.”
“I have fly-fished with Michael for many years on chalk streams, still waters, and in saltwater and had great fun in the process. I have always found Michael to be extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of fly fishing and he always conducts himself in an utterly professional way. I can thoroughly recommend Michael as a guide as I know that he will do his utmost to ensure that his clients have a rewarding and enjoyable day.”
“The dictionary definition of the word guide is ‘Someone who shows you the way’ which is exactly what Michael does so enjoyably when bass and freshwater game fishing. I am delighted to say I can highly recommend Michael’s services as an accomplished bass guide and fisherman”.
