The loss of a big fish! Today we have rain. It started at 6am when Polly, my semi-wild cat, asked to be let out. It started to rain moments later, so now she is sleeping on our ride-on lawnmower, and looks set to stay there as long as the rain continues. I know one part of the river that has four large fish in a r...

It's been a strange old year so far! Normally I'm able to predict with some certainty when, and what, will be hatching on my local river Touvre, but this year it's been all about the weather? However in past years, the mayfly hatches have been fairly predictable, and during the daytime you could expect a rise of sh...

Winter is still around the corner. It's been some time since my last blog, but I haven't been idol, I've been learning to play the guitar! The other good news is we are having some decent rain that is getting the rivers in good condition, but for how long no one knows? The local news papers this back end, wer...

When I first moved to France some 7 years ago, it was fairly rare to get snow. If we did it was just a flurry, and gone the next day. However this year not only have we had a large amount, but it has settled. So right now we are in the depths of a big freeze, and from the forecasts have more to come. One evening ...

Wind, rain, and flood. The South West of France has seen all the above recently, with loss of life and much damage to property! Where we live we missed the worst of it, thank heaven. We did get some minor damage in the garden, but nothing compared to just a 100 miles south of us! Several of the smaller 1st ca...

Vairon (Minnow) fishing equipment. I've been out in the garden with the new rod practicing casting the small weights required for Vairon fishing. Why you may ask? The other in the picture with the hooks on are called (clou) or nails in English. These are much quicker to attach, but the animation of the bait...

First week, falling in, future fears! The first week has come and gone on my local chalk stream. To be honest it's been a big disappointment. Despite taking a few nice brown trout to 50cm, compared to last season numbers of fish are well down. One evening as I was crossing back over the river, I tripped over a lar...
