The Water

Lough Erne

One of Europe's great wild pike fisheries — Upper and Lower Lough Erne, a maze of open water, wooded islands and reed-lined bays running through Co. Fermanagh.

Big, wild, hard-fighting Irish pike, and cold water is when they come alive. Stuart has fished it for over twenty years and guides from his own boat.

Pro Team

The brands he fishes for

Stuart is on the pro teams of two of fly fishing's most serious names — one building the rods, the other tying flies for the world.

Founded by Scott Mackenzie — three-time world Spey casting champion, and twenty-two years a ghillie on Scotland's salmon rivers. Every rod is built on that experience; it's what the DTX name stands for.

One of the biggest fly brands in the world, and it began in the 1930s tying flies in Kenya. Run out of Surrey now, with hundreds of tyers turning out millions of flies a year — big pike patterns among them.

  • Tying flies since the 1930s
  • 300+ tyers, 4 million+ flies a year
  • Own hooks, made by Hayabusa
