Allan Griffiths "The
Predator People" was established in 1984 after a chance
conversation between myself and some anglers holidaying on the Norfolk Broads. After
saying how they loved the area they also remarked how difficult it had
been to find consistent sport, particularly on the Broads themselves, we decided that we would all go out together for a days
general fishing later that week. A few days later we all met up at Hickling Broad and
had a great time catching numerous fish including Roach - Rudd - Bream
and Perch, on our return one of the anglers asked if I would consider
taking him Pike fishing in the coming winter - well I've always been nutty
about Pike fishing so the answer was yes and Fishing In Norfolk (our initial name) was born.
It all seems a long time ago now but I can still remember our first trip
and what we caught, over the last 23 years the Fishing In Norfolk
name has changed to Allan Griffiths "Predator People" and has grown to be one of the most prolific full time - professional guiding
services in the UK, but our basic aims have never changed. From the start
our philosophy was simple - to offer anglers of all abilities the chance
to catch wild fish in beautiful surroundings - at affordable and realistic
prices and most importantly make sure that everyone had fun and great
memories. I'm pleased to say that these aims are still true today and
that we still achieve them. Our trips started on the River Thurne system
in Norfolk since then we have expanded to cover all of the main Broadland
river systems and Broads as well as offering limited trips for both Pike and Zander
on the Fenland drains. Trips vary from single 8 hour days
on the Norfolk Broads through to our fantastic Musky Expedition to the wilderness of Canada and cater for everyone no matter ability or age, all methods are fished and free tuition is given on our trips if required.
The last few years have seen a tremendous
growth in people offering guiding services throughout the UK, some are
extremely good and provide an excellent service others leave a lot to
be desired, to say the least. Unfortunately you don't know what your getting
from a guide until you've actually been out with them, a few things to
look out for though is the length of time that they have been in business,
you don't survive in this business very long if you con people, also check
to see if they are fully insured and licensed to guide on the waters their
fishing and lastly check out their pictures of customers catches, not
their own but their customers catches, this is very important as that
is what you are.
We hope that you enjoy browsing our site
and that you will find time to fish with us either in this country or
abroad and we look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
