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.

Had a great evening's fly fishing with Steve in an effort to improve my casting. After some general tuition, advice on kit improvement and the pandemic, and catching a couple of good size trout my fishing and mental well-being has improved noticeably. Strongly recommended.

We had a fun day outdoors in the sun last weekend. The group of nine of us started out clay pigeon shooting in the morning then lunch at a good pub called leathern bottle in Lewknor after this fly fishing in the afternoon at a great lake. Definitely recommend a visit. We had a mix of abilities for the shooting and fishing and Steve and his instructors gave us some really helpful tips through out the day.

Thanks Steve

I had two very enjoyable days with Steve on the River Kennet. Although we had to combat heavy rain and rubbishy (weed etc) coming down the river. Under
Steve's guidance, I succeeded in catching two Barbel. The first fish weighing 4lb 8oz and the second a personal best of 10lb 12oz (see photograph).
Steve took me through everything, rig set up, baits and watercraft. I still consider myself a novice Barbel Angler, but, now armed with confidence in my ability and knowledge to go on and catch more Barbel on my local rivers.
I can recommend Steve Ward fishing without any reservations whatsoever.

Went fishing with Steve as a birthday gift from my dad who also attended. Having never caught a barbel before that was my aim that I achieved with a 10lb fish which I was delighted with. Steve clearly is very knowledgable and understands where to go and is very well networked in the fishing community which must enable him to keep on the pulse regarding the best spots and feeding trends etc. recommended.

I had wanted to learn how to fly fish and experience catching a trout on the fly since I can remember. A good friend of mine recommend I contact Steve and arrange a days one to one tuition and learn all about fly fishing and maybe even catch a trout. I contacted Steve and found him to be very helpful and friendly from the initial contact and throughout the day I spent with him, he is a good teacher and very easy to get along with, I even caught two rainbow trout. I had a great day and can't wait to book another day barbel fishing.

I wanted to purchase a unique gift for my partner for his birthday and I found Steve Ward Fishing online and that they did vouchers for a days fishing - it was something my partner had said was on his bucket list so I thought I would push him in the right direction. The gift voucher arrived very fast and looked very professional. He booked his date direct with Steve who from the start was a great help, very friendly and passionate in what he does. When it came to the day itself my partner had a fantastic fishing with Steve, all he did was rave about taking it up as a hobby as he had learnt so much (even caught a little fish) and talked about the wonderful stories Steve had shared with him throughout the day.
He's now trying to find spare time to book with Steve again for another great day of fishing and has even mentioned it for a friends stag weekend - what fun they would have! We would highly recommend this company!
