Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

AMAZING experience, we have wanted to try fishing for such a long time and this was the perfect intro. Mik was so knowledgable and taught us everything we needed to know and caught 3 fish.
It was amazing value for money and he spent so much time with us showing us different styles and techniques. I’d recommend this to anyone even if you don’t have a big interest in fishing it is a great day out.

Mick is a great teacher!
We had a mixed group of four fishers, some who had never fished before. Mick had everyone casting well enough to try a variety of techniques in no time!
He was knowledgeable about flies that would work, and even though the ponds were quiet, we caught fish!
Even though we booked late, Mick worked with us to find a time that worked. He was well organized and ready for us when we arrived.
We had a great half day fishing! Would highly recommend Mick!!

Hey Gerry.
Thank you for an excellent review. I had a great time fishing with you all and it’s always good to see a few fish in the net. Everybody really done well with the fly rod.
Tight lines my friend.

We had a great day out with Michael at Clubbiedean Fishery near Edinburgh. We got to try bait, float and fly fishing from the bank and in the boat. Michael was very patient and has a great way of teaching and explaining techniques.
This day out was a present for my Grandad's 80th and to catch some cracking fish and spend the day as a group with Michael's keen eye for a good spot, we couldn't really have asked for a better experience.
I would highly recommend this for beginners and those looking for somehing different to the other experiences on offer around Edinburgh. We will certainly be back!
Cooking your own freschly caught Rainbow Trout on the BBQ was something else!

Hey Scott,
Thank you very much for an excellent review. I had a great day fishing with you all and it helps when you are lending fish. Michael’s was a cracker but John won the day. I’d you had hooked the fish in the dry fly that would be the winner.😄 Johns wildlife photos are excellent and I hope he can one day catch a kingfisher in action. Tight lines.

'Mick' was our guide and he was excellent! A true Scottish historian and expert. It was a cold and windy and rainy day and he brought extra jackets for us and we had an excellent time fishing and talking about Scottish traditions. Taught us about rabbits, falcons, and maggots all while witnessing the beautiful tree lined Loch nearby Edinburgh.

It’s a stunning Loch and I had a great time with you both,

My boyfriend and I had a day out with Michael and we had the best time. The falconry was a very unique experience and it was very fascinating to see Cass in action. After having lunch we went fishing and I managed to catch 2 rainbow trouts, I was over the moon. Everything during the whole day was so organised and we loved every minute of it. Michael was a very helpful and positive guide and we would recommend his activities to everyone. We will come back soon!

Thank you for an excellent review of my Business and it was a pleasure to meet you and Nils. Kass was on top form and its always great to see her Fly to my Guests from the Trees. Getting a rabbit on the day was a bonus. The fishing was good on the day and the fish Nils lost was half my fault when the bubble float smashed however I like to think It was a Monster Trout. Take care and be sure to look us up when you return..
Best wishes

Pleasant day on a small loch surrounded by beautiful scenery. Mik collected me from the mayhem of Edinburgh traffic for the fishing excursion. I’m not much of a FLY fisherwoman, but he was very patient and made sure I caught plenty of rainbows. He’s good company and knows what he’s doing. I only had a day, but he does longer fishing trips.

Thank you for an excellent review of your time fishing with us. You were very good at the fly fishing and I hope you continue to fly fish back home. The Trout was a bonus on the day and it was a pleasure to swap our fishing stories.
Many thanks.

This was the first thing my wife and I did on our trip to Edinburgh. It was awesome! Mik was the friendliest and most knowledgeable guide, and we fish in Montana. I will recommend this to anyone that I talk to, it will be one of my favorite stories for the rest of my life. If ever we get the chance to come back, this will be at the top of the list of things to do, maybe twice.

Hey Shane,
Thank you for an excellent review. You were an excellent boat partner and took everything in your stride. Also very handy with the net for all Brianne,s fish. 😄It was a memorable day and a great pleasure to fish with you both.
I will look you up if I don’t see you back here first.
Tight lines..

We cannot thank Michael Lynch enough for all the help, advise and chat during our fishing experience with him. It was very relaxed and informative all equipment and bait was supplied which was a bonus as i organised this as a surprise for my husband for our 25th wedding anniversary. He had fished before and Michael gave him a good refresher as it had been a while since he had fished. I was a total novice and he has helped me enjoy fishing and start a new hobby! I would totally recommend a fishing day with this guy! 10/10!!!!

Hey Lisa,
Thank you very much for your review and I had a great time fishing with you both. Steven done well to land his fish and his fly casting was spot on. Am sure the next time you hook a fish you will be panic a bit less and put up a good battle..
Also well done on winning the maggot race. Your in the grand final. 😄 Good luck with your fishing adventures.

I booked a day of fishing for my husband's birthday and he absolutely loved it!! Mick was great to communicate with and gave my husband and his mate an absolutely brilliant day, laughing from start to finish. As total beginners they were delighted to land 8 trout between them. Mick showed them some different set ups for bait and fly fishing and my husband now feels confident to give it a go on his own.
A much better price than the competitors with a lovely, friendly guide. Would absolutely recommend it!!

Hi Jess,
Thank you for an excellent review of my Business, your lads were spot on and this was one of my best days Guiding.
Ged & Charlie never stopped trying and they got their rewards. The videos were hilarious and the crack never stopped. Also good to see a bit competitiveness there and i look forward to another very special day in the winter, either Fishing or Falconry.
Take care and best wishes.
Mick

My son and husband had a fantastic experience and day with Mik.
Both were total beginners and Mik was patient and knowledgeable. He was able to keep my 10 year old engaged and interested the whole 4 hours in the cold and snow. He has come away excited to go fishing again.
Well planned. Great communication and service. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Thanks Mik!

Thank you very much for your review. The lads were great to fish with and they had patience plenty as well. Very glad to see them land a fish each and I hope they carry on fishing this year. David picked up the fly casting very quickly and am sure will be able to show Dawson how to cast in the future. Tight lines.
