Fridays..

18 September, 200818 September, 2008 by Alistair

That Friday feeling is great – you wake up in the morning and you just know you only have a few hours to go before you are the longest time period away from being back at work on the Monday – between those two points you must fill in as much time as possible fishing…

Ok – we now have a small forum to play about in – I decided that there was enough people who asked random questions on old threads to warrant somewhere for miscellaneous questions. If it does not get used much then I may well delete it – lets say we will give it a trial…

I loathe the saying “tight lines”

5 June, 20085 June, 2008 by Alistair

I loathe the saying “tight lines” – I can remember when people started using it (or possibly when I first noticed it) and I try and avoid it as much as possible. To me it just seems twee or maybe just a wee bit cheesy. Somehow it always makes me feel slightly uncomfortable – a bit…

Orvis – Why I Like Em’

20 March, 200820 March, 2008 by Alistair

Its not just because Orvis have pretty amazing customer service, its not because they make great quality products, it’s the fact they see the wider issues that affect anglers and are willing to put their money where their mouths are.
