Try Fly Fishing at Wormit
Wormit Trout Fishery offers private guided fly fishing experiences for beginners, couples, families, visiting guests and small groups. These sessions are designed for people who want to try fly fishing properly, with patient guidance, all tackle provided and a calm, scenic setting on the water.
You do not need any previous experience. We will introduce you to the basics of fly casting, tackle, flies, fish behaviour and safe fish handling at a relaxed pace. The aim is simple: to give you a memorable first experience of fly fishing without feeling rushed, overwhelmed or left to work it out for yourself.
Already an experienced fly angler with your own tackle? Please use our day rod booking page instead. This page is for hosted experiences where tuition, tackle and guidance are included.
Why Choose a Hosted Experience?
No Experience Required
A relaxed introduction for complete beginners, first-time casters and anyone returning to the sport.
All Tackle Provided
Rods, reels, flies, nets and essential fishing equipment are included, so you can simply arrive and enjoy the session.
Private Guided Tuition
Patient, practical guidance from experienced fly anglers, tailored to your ability and confidence level.
A Scenic North Fife Setting
A quiet six-acre stillwater near St Andrews and Dundee, ideal for a memorable outdoor experience.
Half-Day and Full-Day Options
Choose a shorter hosted introduction or a fuller day on the water, depending on your group and plans.
What’s Included?
Every hosted experience is built around giving you a proper introduction to fly fishing, not just handing you a rod and hoping for the best. The session is practical, relaxed and shaped around the ability of the group.
Hosted fly fishing experiences can include:
Half-Day or Full-Day Hosted Session
Choose from a half-day introduction or a longer full-day session, arranged in advance and subject to guide availability.
Fly Casting Tuition
Learn the basics of casting, line control and fishing safely from the bank.
All Tackle and Equipment
Rods, reels, flies, nets and essential equipment are provided for the session.
Guided Fishing
We guide you around the water, explain where fish are likely to be holding and help you understand what is happening on the loch.
Fish Care and Handling
Learn how to handle trout carefully, use a landing net properly and release fish safely where appropriate.
Refreshments
Tea, coffee and cold drinks are available during the session.
Choose from private hosted options designed for beginners, visitors and small groups. Half-day sessions suit those looking for a relaxed introduction, while full-day sessions give more time to learn, fish and enjoy the water properly.

Where do I start? The setting is lovely. Such a beautiful spot. Prior to arrival I chatted with Greig. Very clear and helpful communication. We had an "experience" day with a guide, Craig, and he was nothing short of spectacular. I was with my wife and two young sons. Craig was clear, thoughtful and fun. Craig made it a wonderful family experience not to be forgotten. Thanks to the whole team!
Owner's reply Much Appreciated Allen, Craig really enjoyed guiding and has even offered your son some coaching. We look forward to seeing you all again very soon. Tight lines!! :)

Our Club have fished at Wormit twice this season so far. What a beautifully maintained fishery Wormit is with clear banks with easy access to all areas. The fishing was excellent and we caught some cracking hard fighting Rainbow Trout between 3 to 5lbs. Looking forward to our next visit.
Owner's reply Dave, much appreciated. Glad to have your club there. See you next time for more of the same :)

Raemoir Fishing Club day out at Wormit Fishings - What a fantastic venue!! beautiful and well maintained banks and grounds. Greig was a pleasure to meet and couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. The fishing was off the scale and every one of us caught fish that were hard fighting slabs. A day to remember and repeat 10/10 Thanks for a great day out🎣😎.
Owner's reply Thanks for the review Simon, was a pleasure hosting you all. See you again next time!!
