Adam Turner


I’m a salmon fishing ghillie and guide based on the beautiful River North Tyne.

From a young age, you could always find me along the riverbanks — waking up at 4am with my dad in search of salmon and sea trout. Those early mornings shaped my lifelong passion for fishing and my deep love for this incredible river.


Head Ghillie at Riverdale Hall Hotel


complete beginners to seasoned fly fishers


I’ve been the Head Ghillie at Riverdale Hall Hotel for over ten years, welcoming anglers of all levels — from complete beginners to seasoned fly fishers, from the UK and abroad. I take great pride in sharing my knowledge of the river, helping guests develop their skills, and ensuring every day on the water is an enjoyable and memorable experience.

GREAT company

If you’re looking for a day on the North Tyne filled with great fishing, good company, and a few laughs along the way — I’d be delighted to be your guide.

In January 2024, I was honoured to join the Guideline Fly Fishing UK Pro Team, giving guests the opportunity to try out the latest range of Guideline rods, reels, and lines during their time on the river.

  • “As the UK and Irish representative for Guideline over the past 11 years, I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the very best ambassadors in the sport — and Adam is no exception. His knowledge of the North Tyne, combined with his genuine passion for both the river and fly fishing itself, is truly impressive. I have complete confidence in recommending Adam to any of my clients, knowing they’ll enjoy a first-class experience on the water”.

    He guided my son aged 14 to his first Sea trout on the fly at 9.5lbs”.
