Fly Fishing Devon Corporate Events Team

Fly Fishing Devon's corporate events are organised by Geoff Stephens and Paul Kenyon and are staffed by a team of qualified guides and instructors who are experienced and enthusiastic teachers and anglers.  
Geoff Stephens Geoff Stephens is Activities Manager at the 5 star Bovey Castle Luxury Hotel and Sporting Estate. He has responsibility for organising a range of outdoor activities including fishing, clay pigeon and game shooting, deer stalking and riding for corporate groups as well as private clients.

Geoff lives in Chagford on Dartmoor half a mile from the river Teign and within easy distance of the lakes and streams used for corporate events.

His favourite fishing is for brown trout on the wilds of Dartmoor.

Paul Kenyon Dr. Paul Kenyon lives in Ivybridge which is about 10 miles east of Plymouth, on the edge of Dartmoor.

Paul has recently taken early retirement after over 30 years as a university lecturer. He now devotes more time than is reasonable to his lifelong love of all things associated with trout and rivers.

From time to time he expresses this fascination in words and pictures.

The team of guides and instructors used on corporate events have the following qualifications:

  • A Game Angling Instructors Certificate (GAIC),
  • A Level 2 Certifcate in Coaching Angling (L2CCA)
  • An Emergency First Aid Certificate
  • A Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Enhanced Disclosure Certificate
  • Insurance cover through the Angling Development Board (ADB) coach licensing scheme
  • A commitment to continued professional development (CPD)

The Game Angling Instructors Certificate and the Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Angling are awarded after candidates have demonstrated their ability to instruct beginners and experienced game anglers of all ages and abilities. The examination tests the candidates ability to teach safe and effective casting techniques, their knowledge of the life cycles and behaviour of fish and insects. In addition qualified instructors can give objective advice on choosing suitable equipment, as well as guidance on appropriate tactics, angling safety and angling law.
