    This piece of branch appeared over the winter in my river. It is no size at all and might be 2 inches thick at its thickest point. I had a sit down by the river yesterday evening and could not believe the amount of juvenile fish life under this one small branch. A whole variety of sizes from...

After reading the interesting parts of “Fisherman’s Pie”, mainly the contributions from A.H.E. Wood and Ernest Crosfield, I’ve started in on “Fishing the Floating...

    Hi All, Here's a quick SBS for the sparkly junction piggy - this is smaller than the one I tied earlier. Forgive the 'one picture for everything' - SFF isn't the best upload tool - so I snipped onto a single powerpoint slide and then converted to jpg. You can use free swing - or you could add...

    The Solway Firth haaf netters fighting to save a fishing tradition. "Please save us, we're desperate for protection. "We're unique, we're only 30 people. Give us a small quota so that we can continue." I wonder what they consider 'a small quota' and if them, why not others elsewhere!

    Asked for a few flies for trout I wasn't expecting the answer to be 125 and all in small sizes! Having spent so much time trying to hone my salmon flies last year I'd almost forgotten how awkward these wee ones can be - especially as I like to avoid dropping materials purely because of fly...

    After having a rethink on rods I had I decided to add a small 12’ rod to my armoury. I have a couple of switch rods for lighter work but felt I needed a 12’ for the smaller rivers I see my self fishing now and in the future. As my bank account wouldn’t stretch to a high end Sage or loop etc...

    Here we go.....how long is a piece of string? Is hook size any measure? Eminent posters such as Loxie talk about using 16s, 18s, even 20s. Other posters say changing from a 14s to a 16s made all the difference and they caught fish. What is the difference between a 16s and an 18s size wise. My...

    Our local paper has just reported on the teign estuary has had gangs of about 20 people arriving at night and removing buckets of mussels and cockles . We can have a guess who these people are.
