I walked to the river, it was around 5pm, and my hands were trembling I was so exited – I had not felt this exited for a while – I was not even like this on opening day. There was trout rising in the pool in front of me, I strung up my rod keeping [...] I looked for solitude over the weekend – after years of fishing alone I sometimes feel I need that sensation of isolation to get myself in the mood for catching trout. Sometimes I get uneasy when other people are around – I get distracted, watching what they are doing and not concentrating on where my [...] Its all gone Kiwi Camo The DVD is described as Prepare yourself for 75 minutes of pure fly fishing insanity with Trout Bum Diaries Vol 2: Kiwi Camo.

A mixture of dizzying heights and disastrous lows leaving me with a day off work and a limp – oh I have torn my breathable waders in a few places as well. The Story Strangely the plan for both days was to hit the White [...] I had my first session on the White Cart last week.

It was a hot day when Alex (who also joined the club for some sweet small stream action) and there was not much water [...] Here is a gadget to help all those river anglers who are just learning to read the water… Yup – it is a Fishcam That “news”paper the Sun stated: AN underwater camera for finding fish in rivers is causing uproar among anglers — who say it is WRECKING the sport. … Somehow they [...] The Tummel I have been putting off this post for a while now – partly because Emmanuelle caught a lovely big trout that he wanted to see the picture of (and I wanted to tease him while withholding the pictures) and partly because I was not sure whether to tell you a rather amusing story.
