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. Check out the following video with good fun fishing for Brown’s from Montana Wild. BUCKNASTY BROWNS // Full Film from Montana Wild on...
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. Living in London you’re fishing options are rather limited unless you are willing to travel so the first port of call for any adventurous fly fishing should be to explore the waterways that most people would scoff at...
Read MoreLots of New Things
So I’ve moved to London, I currently don’t have a house, I’ve started a new job, I’ve met a lot of new people, I’ve had a lot of fun thus far but I haven’t fished nor am I very likely to in the near future as I’m still hunting for somewhere to live! 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...
Read MoreMullet and Bread and Fly Fishing (well, sort of)
Ever had a look a mullet swimming about in harbours, estuaries, beaches and thought about trying to catch them? Ever had a crack at trying to catch them? They’re tough! In fact, I’ve never actually caught one, I must address that soon. And whilst this post might be about mullet unfortunately it’s got nothing to do with fishing for them but rather about being armed with a camera and a couple of bits of bread. These fish were mooching around a harbour in Collioure in the South of France. A few bits of bread was all that was required to get them to pose for the camera. If...
Read MoreA Past River Trip
And we’re back in the game! Holidays have kept me away from the blog but I’m back now, fish have been caught recently and a whole load of fun things going on on the casting side. For now, here’s a trout from a trip back in early July with Craig W. And another smaller fish a few days later. In a couple days I’ll fire up some pictures from France including a whole load of mullet...
