The Northern Fishing School offers expert-guided fly fishing experiences for all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned anglers. Our programs cater to individuals, families, and corporate groups, with engaging sessions even for schoolchildren.
Prime Location & World-Class Facilities
Nestled in the stunning Swinton Estate in North Yorkshire, our school provides access to diverse fishing spots, including a casting tuition lake, Leighton Reservoir, and the Swinton River Ure and River Burn beats. As part of the 20,000-acre estate, guests can also enjoy the luxury of Swinton Park Hotel, Swinton Bivouac, and Swinton Country Club & Spa.
Our Vision: Making Fishing Accessible to All
Founded in 2019 by Marina Gibson, the school aims to introduce more people to the joys of fishing. She believes it’s a fun, affordable way to unwind and escape daily stress—regardless of age.
Our Mission: Reconnect with Nature
We strive to make fishing an inclusive and rewarding activity, encouraging people to step away from screens and embrace the outdoors. Our immersive experiences—from planning to recounting the day’s catches—create lasting memories. It’s the perfect family activity, teaching children fishing skills while fostering a deeper appreciation for nature.
