GUIDES Ash River Fly Fishing Jurgen Dietrechsen

Ash River Flyfishing

Where, What & When

I guide the Ash river between Bethlehem and Clarens. As far as I know I am the only guide currently on the Ash. It’s a challenging river with a fast flow. Water temperatures average around thirteen degrees all year round. The Ash river offers various aspects of flyfishing and I will assist in every situation. It holds both rainbow and brown trout and all are wild bred - there are no stocked trout here!

Additional Services

I teach beginners and can supply rods and flies but flyfishers of all levels are welcome. I've been flyfishing for the last forty years and have had various international clients with me on the river. Accommodation can be arranged if needed in the small village of Clarens which is only fifteen minutes away from the Ash. Camping next to the river is also available.
