Polaroid Review – a lie, a half true and a true story (and stop telling me how sexy I look)
In my professional opinion as an opinionated person on the internet, I feel able to give you some advice on what bits of fancy plastic you should put over your eyes. Seeing as how I can not just say “Buy these and stop telling me how sexy I look!” I need to place some words,…
Urban Fly Fisher Kicks Ass!
Hello new and old readers – the spring appears to be springing (although we could have -15 temps back any moment). Just thought I would make a boring old post about housekeeping – don’t panic, do not run away you might actually hear something interesting and possibly slightly controversial – I know there are some…
Does Hardy’s brand suck?
You know – a thought struck me the other day – I know absolutely nobody that owns a Hardy fishing rod.* I am not talking about hand me down rods or older rods bought on eBay – I am talking about brand new rods (and reels for the matter) that people are in the market…
JVice Review – Hot Rotary Action!
It was a couple of seasons ago that on a long trip with some pals I watched Mike (Tamanawis) scramble around looking for a piece of wood for his vice – he needed to tie some flies for the session. There has got to be a better way of doing that I thought – especially…
Sexy Polaroids
So I needed a new pair of Polaroid’s – in fact I needed two pairs – a pair with light lenses for low light conditions and a pair with dark lenses for…..you guessed it, bright light conditions. Usually I would just head off to my local boots and try and find a pair that will…

BROMANoDELL’s Esox Lucius 9ft #9/10 Fly Rod (3-piece) Review
OK, its winter and you know what that means for Pike fly fishing – yup, casting enormous flies towards particularly belligerent pike which are sulking near the bottom of their frigid home – you will be using intermediate or sinking lines and will need a 10 weight to manage the harsh conditions that winter throws…
Loop Pike Booster Review
Ok, so it had to happen – I became all tackle tarty and just had to get my hands on a dedicated Pike fly rod – well I got two in fact however this review is dedicated to the fairly new on the market Loop Pike Booster. Loop says: If big toothy critters is the…
Charles Rangeley-Wilson: Bonefish – A Fishing Odyssey – Review
As I was watching the new offering from Charles Rangeley-Wilson I was trying to work out how the guy consistently gets it right when so many other fishing programs get it wrong. I mean you have only to look at the recent fishing programmes on terrestrial television to see how it’s not done, there is…
