A Thursday Update
I have actually noticed that since we are an hour and a half past midnight it is infact Friday but as far as this post goes, we are talking about Thursday! Tonight saw another meeting of the Glasgow Casting Club and as usual there were a good number of beginners along as well as the regulars, which was all the more encouraging since tonight’s weather was a bit dreich to say the least! Rain, clouds and a bit of a breeze! I spent the first hour or so teaching a young lad that I have been working with for the past couple weeks – his casting is really coming along! Tonight we worked...

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 Much Needed Update
It’s been quite a length of time since I last posted here. My excuse is I was incredibly busy, work and practice schedules never seem to leave you with any free time! My last post was about me having a lesson with Andrew Toft on single handed spey casting and the subsequent practice. That lead into more blood sweat and tears on the practice front, I was out at least twice a day, one session on the river and one in the park! At the same time in the evenings I was answering questions to help develop my knowledge on Sexyloops and not to mention my other work, suffice to say that I was done...
