Been a busy few months...so no apologies for a busy life.here's a few moments!
Some fine times on and by water with family, some remarkable folks and very good friends. Oh yes, fish and wildlife moments as well.
I'm proud to say I've an article in the July edition of 'Trout and Salmon'😁 and with more adventures in the offing and recent rainfall ..I feel a bad attack of fly fishing coming on...

Had a great session down the river today- Improving Steve's Nicholas' casting in preparation for a salmon fishing visit to the Spey. Double Spey casting all sorted we put a fly on and explored tactics!!
Quite a few salmon return to the sea after spawning regaining their silver coats.
Easily mistaken for a fresh fish they are beautifully coloured but thin and have maggots on their gills. These drop off when the fish enters salt water and starts feeding again.

Quickly returned, this one was the best confidence booster an angler can have and very welcome on a damp day.

Just spent a great day on Windermere. Pike fishing with good friends, in a great boat on a typical March day.
Only three fish but that's fair enough on any day with miles of wild water to explore.
No monsters but great to have a staff meeting on the water with our ace guide Wayne O Sullivan and legendary angler Andy Mac.
And the angler who returns home after a fishing session on a big lake is a far more contented person than the who closed the door that morning!!😉
