29 September, 2005 by Alistair

Fishing Fly Stuck in Eye I am pretty sure most people have seen this link by now, a reason why people shoudl ensure they wear some kind of eye protection. The fly looks like a Pheasant Tail Nymph, which reminds me that I should rie up some for next season!

You CAN have too much of a good thing!!

28 September, 2005 by Alistair

Rain… Rain…. and even more pissing rain… Just goes to show that you can in fact get too much of a good thing. The river is like hot chocolate (although cold) and looks to stay like that untill the brown trout season ends. If we have two days respite one of the tributories may be…
