David Luckhurst


My name is David Luckhurst and I live in South Staffordshire in the UK. with my wife Emma and little boy Josh. I have been fly fishing since around the age of 11 but really took up the sport in earnest during the early nineties. I have concentrated mainly on fly fishing for sea trout at night and I find this one of the most challenging aspects of our sport.

I have tied flies ever since my father-in-law gave me some fly tying equipment one Christmas. I tie mainly sea trout flies and prefer patterns sparsely tied to the more heavily tied patterns.

I am a qualified instructor teaching beginners through to the more advanced casters. This one aspect I really enjoy and seeing others getting pleasure from our sport is fantastic.

I have recently stated making furled leaders to improve my presentation when trout, grayling or sea trout fishing.

My flies are available from www.seatroutfisher.co.uk and the furled leaders from www.furled-leaders.co.uk.
