Someone asked me about fisheries around Glasgow a while ago – what ones have you visited? Not really to my taste to be honest although I have blanked a few times on Harelaw – usually when I end up at a fishery it is because conditions are very poor everywhere else – usually this means 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.
