Jenny

Jen started to work within the business at the age of 14 and started guiding at the age of 18.
She has been guiding full-time now for 3 years and has just recently started to work on her SGAIC course (Scottish Game Angling Instructor Course)

Jen is loved by all her past guests and is highly recommended by these to others making her very popular.

Jen has just started her own baking business (baked by Jen) and only guides on her days of.f
She has traveled to America to get experience in Texas fly fishing for Reds, Drums, Sheepshead, Bass, and Blue Gill. Covid -19 stopped her from continuing this trend for the last two years and she is determined to get back.

Her love of fly fishing is all about the guests and her casting skills have impressed those that were taken back as her guests didn’t expect a young girl to be able to fly fish the way she does. She is also a mean cook and has provided our guests with some outstanding meals.

Roz

Roz
Roz is an integral part of business as she runs everything behind the scenes, the things you do not see such as Admin, Banking, and all the Accountancy materials required just to keep us legal.

Roz is the backbone of the business as she supports Jen and me with everything we do. She is often spending hours preparing food for hampers in the early hours of the morning as we have several guided trips going out every day.

Roz is an accomplished Pianist and Vilionist and writes her own music, her love of music both live and recorded is there for all to see. Roz can fly fish if required but would rather be on the hospitality side of the business as she enjoys the chit chat and making sure our guests are happy.
