I've known Ian at least 25 years on and off the river. From his days at Lower Pitchroy to Traveling with him in Norway. Total joy.
If you fish with Ian you will get the very best casting help, wonderful river craft, Total honesty and above all the best company on or off the water. Oh and probably a friend for life. What more can you ask for.

“I attended my first fishing course with Ian Gordon on the Spey some years ago now and have been back every year since - not just because he has helped my fishing hugely, but also because he makes them such great fun. What stands Ian apart from so many others is his ability to keep things simple, to spot what is going wrong and then offer a few very simple adjustments that make a massive difference to one’s fishing. I have gone on to join Ian on several hosted trips to Iceland and am hoping to do many more……”

“ Over the past few years I have had the pleasure of going on two of Ian’s accompanied trips to Iceland as well as participating in a 3 day tuition course on the Deveron. In all instances the experiences surpassed my expectations. Arrangements were always meticulously planned with no surprises. Ian is the perfect host with his affable and helpful nature always shining through. On top of this is his willingness to share his vast experience in salmon fishing coupled with invaluable guidance on how to improve your casting”

Fishing with Ian Gordon in Scotland is a must every year! There were just very few years in the past I missed to fish a Scottish river. These years I consider lost years in my fishing life. Hopefully Ian, you keep on fishing many years in the future with us.
