Tufton Arms Hotel
Fly Fishing Breaks and Fly fishing for Beginners on the River Eden, Lake District and Cumbria
The Tufton Arms Hotel has been a famous fly fishing destination since Victorian times. Appleby is situated in a large loop of the River Eden, and is surrounded by superb wild brown trout fishing and grayling fishing. We can also offer The River Eamont and the lower and middle River Eden. Whilst fishing in the Lake District with its myriad of options is close by.
Come fly fishing for wild brown trout on some 16 miles of the famous River Eden and it's tributaries all within close reach of the hotel. Try bustard fishing in the late evening for the larger brownies that lurk in the deeper pools to round of a different fly fishing break.
Whether you are an experienced fisherman or a complete fly fishing beginner everybody is welcome. We are proud of our long association with John Pape who has been teaching beginners fly fishing for some 40 years mainly on the River Eden. His 4 day tuition courses courses offer a perfect fishing break as well as the opportunity to learn and enjoy this time honoured art. However if you are a total fly fishing beginner and wish to try trout fishing for the first time we can also offer experienced ghillies for the day along with loaned equipment and tackle so that you can sample the excitement and see if a fishing break is for you.
We also offer both salmon fishing breaks and trout fishing on the middle and lower River Eden. Again we can offer ghillies who are also happy to start you off salmon fishing or indeed speycasting. The Tufton Arms for that fishing break that you deserve. Contact Nigel Milsom direct at the hotel on 017683 51593 to discuss your requirements.
