A long stick and a bent pin. 8220;A trout is a moment of beauty known only to those who seek it.” – Arnold Gingrich. Friday, April 11, 2014. Cork Handle Part One.

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. First of the year. So having failed to find any visibly feeding fish it was a fruitless visit in terms of trouty action. However it was good to be out again and to prove that I could still present a fly and lay a line on the water. And it was especially heartening to spy lots of juven...Has t...

A long stick and a bent pin. 8220;A trout is a moment of beauty known only to those who seek it.” – Arnold Gingrich. Friday, January 24, 2014. On the Peacock water this rule is adopted to afford the fish some sanctuary when they are not feeding at the surface of the water.

A whole year to play with. Given that a scr...

Happily I have managed to disabuse myself of this notion. Of course fishing these areas does demand more application (in terms of drag management) and concentration (in terms of being able to see the fly) but the rewards are there for the diligent. 8230;………available to anybody with a rod licence!

A long stick and a bent pin. 8220;A trout is a moment of beauty known only to those who seek it.” – Arnold Gingrich. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. I have to admit that I wrapped up the afternoon pretty shortly after that as I could not envisage it getting any better. I think I have now ‘grown up’ to the point that fishing is no longer a numbers game and it is more about the challenge of catching the fish that I want in the way I wanted it. Monday, June 3, 2013.
