Getting Older.....Nice People ........ Best wishes

December 31, 2011
Well I've managed this week to hit the half century  ;-(   or the BIG 50 as they call it.
Also managed a few days out with clients, all of whom have been really nice people. Is it a fact  that most fisherfolk are generally nice people?

May I wish all friends and customers, present and future, a very happy 2012 and hopefully see you on the water sometime.

Rain rain and more rain with wind !!!

December 9, 2011
Well this current weather is certainly not helping the fishing on the rivers with huge floods in the North and Cumbria it will take a week at least to settle down to more fishable conditions.
The opportunity to fish the stillwaters that remain open is certainly the best bet with good reports of  excellent fishing from the local stillwaters.
Lets hope the weather improves and the severely cold conditions of the last couple of years stay away !!!.
