I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing.

Flies of fancy


So, happy new year to my tiny band of followers. I hope we all enjoy a fruitful 2011.

Anyway, here is my starter for ten, the flies that will lead me in a new direction during the coming season. I hope to see more of my new friends the Grayling and the Brown Trout, and I hope to find myself more on the riverbank and a bit less anywhere else - especially work.

I will share all of my triumphs and disasters with you - you have been warned!

    It takes some time to really get into fly fishing, in may case about 35 years. But once you do, you will rarely use a baited hook again.

    While I fish mainly for Brown trout, I have caught carp, barbel, chub, dace, roach, perch, and pike on fly. It's a go light sport too!!

    You only get one life Alan, so go fishing when you can. They may not have any trout rivers in heaven?

    Kind wishes, and a happy New Year.
