Looking Back on 2024

 It was another great year, with plenty of days on the water. Numerous shows, BFFI, Irish Fly Fair, Burwarton country show as well as demos for Llangollen & Maelor A.A, Bollin and Berkin A.A, North West Fly dressers Guild and Tilstone Fly Fishery.  Our annual trip to Bosnia was a challenging one, rivers conditions weren’t in our favour with flash floods a few days before we visited.  None the less a great trip and a really enjoyable fishing year.

Looking back on 2023

 2023 was another good year out on the water, catching plenty of fish on my home waters and further afield.  I once again attended various shows providing single and double handed demonstrations, it’s always a great buzz helping out those anglers who either have just started the sport or need their casting tweaked.  It is no surprise and I have noticed that after many years of providing casting tuition that the “casting” part of the sport is overlooked by many. They buy the latest rods, tie the right flies and yet still struggle to target that elusive brown or can’t cover a salmon pool efficiently. Anyway I’ll keep banging away at that casting drum, hopefully getting through to the fly anglers that in my opinion Casting is the most important cog in the system.

Here’s a few pictures of the year, enjoy !

All the best for 2024
