"To see a fisherman perfectly mastering a single or double-handed fly rod is rare enough.  When the fisherman turns out to be a woman, we are in the realm of the exceptional."


Glenda began teaching in her teens at various still-water trout fisheries in Northern Ireland. At the age of 18 she moved to Scotland for three years, where she qualified with SANA as both Salmon & Trout instructor and fished in the Scottish Ladies International Fly-fishing Team.

Since 1997, she has been based at the Blackwater Lodge Salmon Fishery in Ireland where she instructs and guides. She regularly demonstrates at angling fairs throughout Ireland & abroad.

Glenda has achieved an enviable reputation both for her tuition capabilities and casting skills. Her knowledge of the physics & mechanics of fly-casting embraces all of the latest technology, tackle & equipment. She is always on the lookout for new developments which will enable newcomers and more experienced fisherpersons (!) alike to both improve their skills and gain more enjoyment from their sport. She talks with ease & vast knowledge about the latest spey lines, rod development and casting techniques. She can teach all levels from complete beginner to the highest levels of advanced spey-casting including Snake roll, Snap T & C, Skagit with all other forms (roll, single & double spey) using either single- or double-handed rods.

She has a very gentle manner with her tuition, and has an uncanny ability to judge the needs of clients and tailor her approach to their lessons to ensure that they feel at ease and gain the maximum benefit. Clients are given clear & concise explanations of the way their rod & line works so that they better understand what they are trying to achieve with their casting and why.
Such is her manner that many a fishing widow has been encouraged to take up the sport under her expert guidance.
