Pretty much as soon as we were able to, I went fishing! During the whole lockdown my life pretty much did not change, it only got around 10 times harder. The family got up in the morning, got dressed – my wife went to work in the hospital and I dropped the kids off at…

Winter Projects – Vice Action.
Well that was a quick season. No sooner than it was over I was thinking about next year and planning some winter projects. I am not a big fan of freezing my balls off hunting for Grayling and anyway looking at the photos on facebook it appears now to just be an excuse to torment…
Thanks to Yorkshire Water!
There has actually been many benefits to us anglers thanks to Europe – lots of improvements have been thanks to various European Directives and our improving water quality across our rivers is fantastic for trout and salmon. However in collaboration with Yorkshire Water I am able to reveal some exciting news about the Little River…
Commercialisation of fly fishing, guides and discarded blogs!
I thought I would have a gander around at the state of the UK fly fishing blog scene seeing as how the forerunner of US blogs “The Trout Underground” has now packed it in. It makes me all nostalgic for the past, about all the blogs that I have seen come and go over the…
The Ladies? Oh you mean the bottom scum sucking leaches right?
I love Grayling, I just hate people talking about them as if they were anything but a fish. I had chat with my pal Campbell about this on the phone as I staggered up the road from the train station home after a hard days grafting. Grayling fishing a few years ago used to be…

2012 Trout Season – you were like a batshit crazy girlfriend!
That is correct, you were like a crazy girlfriend. On one hand you promised so much (the sex was good) however on the other you turned up at crazy times at my house and made unreasonable demands. You were like two separate people, the problem was the crazy part far outweighed the good part. The good part of the relationship…
So I visited the Glasgow Angling Centre on its Open Weekend.
And I enjoyed it. Never let it be said that I am a moany bastard who never looks on the bright side of anything, today I spent a good couple of hours in the Glasgow Angling Centre and thoroughly enjoyed my time. Gary Wingate (Game fishing manager or something like that) had asked me if I was coming down…
