English & Fishing
If you would truly
like to unwind after a morning’s language study there’s nothing better than
sitting by one of Bute’s beautiful lochs (lakes) in the afternoon fishing for
trout, perch or pike. You can choose to sit on the banks of the loch or you
can fish from a rowing boat.
Our English and Fishing courses offer the perfect combination of daily
language study with fishing on an executive 1-to-1 or mini-group basis.
Additionally, all of our English and Fishing options are available on a
year-round basis.
Each of our English and Fishing courses is individually tailored around your
requirements, so you choose where and when you fish: mornings, afternoons, or
a combination of both.
Following a detailed pre-course needs analysis and language audit, we will
present you with a draft training programme. Course content is entirely
flexible and can range from general communication skills to the highly
specific.
Choose from the following course combinations:
-
General English and Fishing
-
Business English and Fishing
-
Oil & Gas English and Fishing
-
Banking & Finance English and Fishing
-
Medical English and Fishing
-
Aviation English and Fishing
-
Military English and Fishing
Flexible Study Programme
You study from 9
a.m. to 12.30 p.m. or from 2 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. We can also design an
individualised self-study programme (e.g. development of listening, reading,
writing skills, pronunciation, grammar) to complement your face-to-face
classes.
You may also choose to arrange your English and Fishing package to have one
day of English tuition followed by one day of fishing. This can often be a
good solution on days when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
Following your daily pub/restaurant lunch, you will be transported to the loch
of your choice where you will meet your personal ‘ghillie’, an experienced
local angler, who will be at hand to take care of your every need including
providing you with expert tuition and advice if required. We can also arrange
for lochside gourmet picnic lunches. After each afternoon’s fishing, you will
be transported back to your accommodation.
Sea and Loch Fishing on the Isle of Bute
Trout
Loch Fad, surrounded
by wooded hills, is home to both rainbow and brown trout. It has been
classified by Scottish Natural Heritage as a site of special scientific
interest for its scenic beauty and its huge diversity of bird life and
vegetation. It offers both fly fishing from boat or bank and bait, and
spinning angling from bank only.
For wild and stocked brown trout fly fishing, Loch Quien is an excellent
choice, being easily accessible, as well as quiet and beautiful.
Coarse Fishing
For coarse fishing, Lochs Ascog and Greenan are ideal choices. Loch Ascog will provide you with large pike, as well as perch, while the Greenan Loch offers carp, tench, bream and roach.
Salmon Fishing
We chauffeur you
into the beautiful and rugged Scottish highlands for an afternoon of salmon
fishing.
English and Fishing on the West Coast of Scotland
Your Delaso English
and Fishing course comes with an optional one-day excursion to places of
interest such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, Ayr and Loch Lomond. However, should you
wish us to arrange for you to spend the day fishing at any location on the
West Coast of Scotland instead, just let us know and we’ll do the rest.
Please contact us at any time for further information on our English and
Fishing packages or to discuss your individual requirements.

Once-in-a-liftetime Fishing
Have you ever
wanted to try your hand at blue shark (July - August) or blue-fin tuna
(September - November) fishing? You’ll speed from the Isle of Bute to the
Irish Coast where you will fish for sharks or tuna and, hopefully, land your
own. En route, you can relax and take in the wildlife which, depending on the
season, will include porpoises, dolphins, basking sharks and even Minkie
whales. Your journey takes you past the largest gannet colony in Europe and
you will also see puffins and seals.
This luxury, full-day option is not included in our English & Fishing course
costs. An additional cost of £600 per person (individual charter)/£300 per
person (mini-group charter) for this unique experience would be charged. This
includes a day aboard your private Wildcat 39 Fast Catamaran, lunch and
refreshments on board, as well as hire of specialist equipment.
