“Thanks to Shaun`s enthusiasm for barbel and knowledge of the Wye – my two pals and I had just the best day – back for sure to do more of this…”
Nick. Dubai.
“I can honestly say that my day on the river with Shaun was the best day’s fishing I have ever had in over 50 years of angling! Fishing for just 7 daylight hours I banked 25 barbel, 4 chub and 2 eels. All down to Shaun’s guidance, methods and commitment. Already rebooked and counting down the day’s.”
“I have had three different guided trips away with Shaun, and always with friends or family of various fishing abilities.Two of them had never caught a barbel before! Shaun did not let us down, and all of us caught multiple barbel on every trip! More importantly, Shaun was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout!! In my experience, Shaun`s knowledge of where and how to catch barbel is unrivalled.”
Jon. Hull.
“Shaun was a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly guide, but most important of all, put us in the right place to catch! I caught my first ever barbel at 6lbs on the day, and used his advice to top that with a 7lb fish the next day!!”
Mike. London.
“Shaun is the top man for barbel, been with a few guides and he works hard to put you on the fish and unlock the method of the day. Man`s a legend, he makes a wicked cup of coffee and a mean breakfast sandwich. I couldn’t recommend the guy enough!”
Tight lines, Danny. Shropshire.
“Had a great day fishing with Shaun..He was and is very knowledgeable and helpful and was a pleasure to share time on the bank with. Highly recommended.”
Richard. Kidderminster.
“Shaun is a very professional and knowledgeable guide. He spends time explaining what rigs he uses and why, and his knowledge of the swims and watercraft are second to none. The bacon sarnie was a welcome surprise!”
David. Buckingham.
“There is no limit to his knowledge and experience, but what stands out is Shaun’s passion, excitement and drive to ensure you have a great enjoyable experience, and ultimately catch that special fish. After a few years away from the bank, Shaun re-ignited my passion for the sport, and I don’t see it going out. Thank you Shaun!”
Peter. Devon.
“We contacted Shaun as the father-in-law was turning 70, and it was his wish to catch his first barbel – a fish that had eluded him over the years. Shaun knew just the right place to go and we had a brilliant afternoon with the FIL, not just bagging one….. but catching several over the course of the day. We cannot recommend Shaun enough! Knowledgeable and Friendly, it was a great days fishing.”
Craig. London.
“Shaun was a great a gillie & importantly got us on the barbel which is all you want! He was knowledgeable, friendly & generous. Great company too! Thoroughly recommend.”
James. London.
“Hi Shaun, thank you for organising a great day on the Wye. We all had a great day, caught some lovely barbel and I even lost a salmon! Will be back this year.”
Mark. London.
“Shaun is a very patient and personable guide whose knowledge of fishing is vast. We spent a lovely day on the Wye but most telling of all, we caught some great fish! Highly recommended.”
Anthony. Devon.
“Last year I had the pleasure of going on a guided fishing tour with Shaun on the river Wye. Shaun’s knowledge is second to none when it comes to fishing for barbel. Not only did he show us the perfect spots to find fish, but also the best methods to catch them.
By the end of the day, I had caught seven Barbel. Although I’d class myself as quite an experienced fisherman, Shaun without a doubt taught this old dog some new tricks.
I would highly recommend Shaun to both novice and experienced anglers, and look forward to going on another trip soon.”
Keith. Worcester.
“The time spent with Shaun was time well spent. Shaun covered all the basics to ensure nothing was missing including the bacon butties at mid-point! Often overlooked during fishing sessions is watching the water and this is where the preparation paid off. Thanks to the new river craft skills learnt, I have recalled on these which has made the sessions much more enjoyable, including a better appreciation of the surrounding landscape and conservation.”
Paul. Worcester.
If Barbel are the go to fish of the moment and the River Wye the go to river, then Shaun Nurse must be the go to guide. I had the most splendid day with him, catching a double figure Barbel and 5 others of notable size. Shaun generously shares his knowledge and experience with others, I learnt a lot that will help me in my angling future.
Thank you Bernard, great session…
