Crazy weather!
I think most of us must feel the same way, but what on earth is going on with our seasons? Every year it appears the seasons get a little more blurred and the extremes get a little more wild and unpredictable? I noticed the levels on my local river last week broke new records, places …

Rivers and Children
I was out at my local river (Calder) early this week as flood waters had dropped to a fishable level. There was still a huge amount of debris floating around and the water was still around 2ft higher than usual. I was setting my gear up and was approached by two young kids of around …

Having dabbled with Tenkara quite a bit, there have been times when I’ve really struggled with the length of the rod on my local rivers. When fishing this water with a standard fly rod I occasionally fish right down to a 6ft marksman due to foliage and access. I really needed a Tenkara equivalent to …

River Levels in England and Wales

I blogged a few days ago about experimenting with braid for nymphing… If you have read the blog, you will have seen Duncan replied saying I should try Tenkara. As it happens I’ve had some Tenkara gear on order for a while as this was something I had been discussing with one of my fishing …
