About us

"...packed with useful information: a directory of knots, thoughtful reviews, the best message board of its kind, regularly updated news, and practical features." 5/5 - The Sunday Times

Launched in April 1998, Fish & Fly is the leading website dedicated to fly-fishing in the UK and Europe with editorial from a team of leading angling journalists headed up by our Editor and Marketing/Operations Director, Paul Sharman. We are based near to Gatwick on the Surrey/Sussex border in the UK but our team of contributors is spread out over the country and indeed the globe!

Paul himself is an accomplished freelance outdoor writer and photographer with credits in numerous leading international titles such as Sport Fishing, Fly Fishing in Saltwaters and France's Voyages de Peche. With 8 years spent living in Southern California, he has much experience in warmwater fishing for black bass and bluewater species such as tuna, dorado and mako sharks on the fly but also likes to seek out lesser targeted species such as carp. As an active member of the prestigious Outdoor Writers Association of America and the Angling Writers Association, he continues to seek new and exciting stories, species and destinations to share with Fish & Fly readers everywhere while now based back in the UK.
