Bucknasty Browns
I’m playing catch up here but I’m slowly getting back into it… Another sexyloops meet this past weekend, a tiny bit of fishing and a fantastic find on the internet.

Read MoreSexyloops Scottish Meet 2014 (in Spain!)
This year the Sexyloops annual Scottish meet was naturally held in Spain. This was for one obvious reason – Spain is of course part of Scotland. Now that we’ve cleared that up, suffice to say the weather was glorious which was the real reason for moving to Spain. There’s not too much I can tell you about this meet as I ended up not fishing at all for various reasons 1) getting out of bed too late, (read as 4pm) and 2) wanting to be involved with the ongoings on the casting field.

Read MoreTrout in the City
The last few months have all been based around skiing in my free time, I’ve been in France a couple times and in Scotland a lot enjoying record snow conditions. The skiing season was sublime but now that the warmer conditions have arrived fishing is back on the menu. I’d hoped to get out for some spring pike action but that didn’t materialise in the end.

There’s a couple of things I really need to post a write up on – a great fishing trip with Ronan’s best mate John and the BFCC competition in Glasgow but that will have to wait as I’m just too busy at the moment. For the time being though, here’s a repost of a short film made...

I first ventured into the world of teaching fly fishing three and a half years ago when I sat my Game Angling Instructors’ Certificate in single handed fishing with GAIA What followed after that was an intense few years of teaching, fishing at home and travelling across the world fishing in New Zealand twice, Australia twice and going the opposite direction, the USA! Back in June I decided it was time to test myself again and do a more advanced casting instructor assessment. I chose to do the Master Casting Instructor (MCI) assessment administered by the International Federation of Fly...
