Redington Sonic Pro Stocking Foot Wader Review

26 April, 2013 by Alistair

I read somewhere that breathable waders come in two types: 1. Those that are leaking. 2.Those that are about to leak. As much as people laugh at this it is absolutely and totally true. Of course what you want to know is the time it takes between your waders getting from the 2nd type to…

An afternoon right up the shit pipe!

21 April, 2013 by Alistair

The weather was for high winds, heavy showers and low temps. Feck all that lets go to the river of shit pipes on Sunday I said to myself on the Saturday as I was starting to feel real withdrawal from fishing. Usually at this time of the year we can choose to not go fishing however finding the…

Static Accounts!

10 April, 2013 by Alistair

Kelvin account opened – 5/2

3 April, 2013 by Alistair

Bugger it! All this talk of freezing cold temps and slow start to the season has really gotten on my goat. Consequently I decided that enough was enough and it was actually time to cast a fly and have  a look for myself.  After work I bolted to the river to find it looking barren and incredibly unfishy.
