Here at Flynscotsman Tackle we are passionate about fishing! Our founder, James, started this business from a much-loved hobby and the desire to catch as many different species of fish.  He had his first catch back when he was 8 years old, spin fishing off the rocks with his family.  By 12, James had taught himself how to fly fish, catching many wild trout using a thin 7 foot spinning rod to fly fish with, as it wasn’t until he was 16 that he could afford to get his very own fly rod.  He continues to enjoy spin and fly fishing, while expanding into coarse and pike fishing.  Now in his 30s, James has well over 20 years’ experience and has taught many friends and family how to fish.
