The people on the bank.
The coaches behind School Of Fish. More joining the line-up as we grow.
Ulvis Strokss
School Of Fish Founder
Level 3 Coach Educator
Ulvis runs School Of Fish, sets the curriculum, and delivers most of the coach training himself. Thirty years on the bank have made him an expert fly and lure angler and a genuine all-rounder, as happy on a river as on a commercial or a canal. As a Level 3 Coach Educator he can train and assess coaches all the way to Level 2, which is rare in angling and the reason our cohorts are taught at the top level rather than handed off. If you've been on an SOF course, chances are Ulvis was the one on the bank.
