100% a season ticket i know that there are people who drive more than 100 miles each week just to fish this river.. on a season ticket on a summer Wednesday evening without a thought Once you start fishing it you will understand why... as they say... it can be a hard river... but just fish the...

I think the second picture is of the crooked hole above four masters bridge... the first is the sea pool There are so many lovely pools on the river drowse that you will be spoilt for choice... in such a short length of river... its worth doing some exploring from the lodge down.... here’s a...

I have been trying to contact hardy uk support to service a hardy angel reel... I received the same error message when using the uk site... somehow stumbled on the us site where the message went successfully... but heard nothing back... so rang the uk support number and was given an email...

There are some really great interviews on Ireland on the Fly as Woodside says... I can thoroughly recommend them.... available as podcasts Truly inspiring listening on these dark winter evenings

Mike Barrios SLX line is definitely a good choice where you are going to use the floating line option for night fishing... it roll casts beautifully, will accommodate the usual Spey casts well... because of its line profile... and can be overhead cast too

Great advice from the lads above I would add that you could concentrate on fishing your fly as effectively as possible.... sometime, as an experiment put on a really bright biggish fly and cast it as you normally would with a floating line and not too long a leader... maybe say 8-10ft...

Thanks IBM59

Wonderful gesture TowySewin. Good deeds lead to good luck and I hope you are rewarded with many great days on the riverbank to come.
