I grew up in the rural mountains of the Eastern Cape, South Africa, fishing the high altitude rivers of the Southern Drakensburg for both trout and the indigenous yellowish species. I have fished extensively throughout Southern Africa as well as the UK and Ireland for many different species.

I hold both the qualified fly casting and fly dressing qualifications through APGAI Ireland as well as a NOCN level3 Game Angling Instructors qualification.

I welcome fly fishers of all ages and experience levels for casting or fly dressing instruction and guided fishing based in Co. Antrim and Down. I am a devoted light-line fanatic, specializing in small stream trout fishing and rivercraft and look forward to meeting like minded anglers at game fairs, or on the water.

Trevor Greene has been fishing for almost 60 years. He mainly fishes for trout on the western loughs particularly Loughs Melvin and Conn. He also dabbles in salmon and sea trout fishing again in the west of Ireland. Closer to home he spends a lot of his autumn fishing for the Lough Neagh trout the dollaghan after it enters the rivers on its spawning run.

He has fished at inter-provincial level but prefers purely recreational fishing in a generally traditional style. That is reflected in his fly tying where he concentrates on traditional patterns saying that “……flies only get to be traditional because they work!”
