Catch Up
I’ve fallen behind with my every day in May posts which is no surprise really but at least I do have some good excuses! Carrying on from my last post I gave a lesson on Saturday morning which went well, my client did a great job and was very fast to put my advice into practice. He came looking for a tune up and to improve his roll casting so over the course of the morning we developed his roll cast, polished up his overhead loops and also started double hauling. I’ve genuinely never seen anyone pick up double hauling so quickly and so such a high standard right from the get go. If...
Read MoreBoring
Things have been pretty boring over the past while as can be seen my the amount of recent posts! I’m on study duty, I have exams coming up, starting in 3 days time and as such I haven’t been out fishing! Full time study – yes it’s been that exciting! I did manage down to the Tweed Angling Fair at Kelso which was good fun, managed to try out the new Loop Evotec rods. I originally went to trial the rods and ended up spending an hour or two with Thomas Berggren, head designer at Loop. A fascinating insight into the company and some very interesting line prototypes in the...
Read MoreA Fruitless Week
Unfortunately as the title suggests, it has been a bit of a fruitless week. A short trip fishing on Thursday 25th to a local burn – the North Calder provided no fish. It was good to get out fishing again though and it let me tick it off the list of those mysteries that had yet to be investigated. It’s been pretty cold and I haven’t heard of many fish being caught anywhere so far this season. Went along to the casting club today, one new face, a friendly Italian chap who had decided fly fishing was something he really wished to do. Alex, one of the other instructors, spent...
Read MoreItching To Get Going
The brown trout opened one whole week ago here in Scotland and I’ve yet to get the rod tackled up and out on some wild waters! The weather has started to warm up a bit and I’ve got one more big piece of work this week (for Wednesday) and then I’m free to get out and chase those trouts! Weather forecast is a bit variable for the end of the week just now but hopefully a nice warm, overcast day with not too strong winds will be the order of the day. That just leaves me whether I choose a nice wee loch I have my mind on or whether I go for a local burn that I have never fished....
