Testimonials from a few of our guests…

What a cool day we had! Ayato has a lot of knowledge when it comes to fishing. We stepped away from the day with plenty of new techniques that have made our fishing styles much easier. Ayato provided a keen and positive attitude along with great determination to make sure you are not going home without landing a fish. Overall, an awesome and insightful day. We would absolutely recommend booking a day with Ayato, you will not regret it!

Lesson with Yoda (Ayato)
Ayato took great time and patience in observing and correcting my casting errors. Before working with Ayato I was on YouTube a lot trying to find casting instruction to fix all my casting problems. I never could get what I needed online. My work with Ayato made a world of difference. In just one lesson, he diagnosed all of my problems and gave me the necessary tools to correct my casting issues.

Ayato is a fantastic casting instructor whether you are a complete beginner or advanced. He breaks down each cast into steps, quickly identifies your faults and articulates instructions simply and clearly”.

“Super Fun Family Day out”
We had a superb day – learnt a huge amount and were very impressed with how accommodating Ayato was with our unusual group (one complete beginner in Holly and a baby!)

Thanks Ayato – All the best – we hope to return soon.
