Not the only learner on the block

Friday, July 10th, 2009

It would appear that I’m not the only person in the world new to flyfishing and I say this like it was some sort of surprise.
Rob Beattie is also learning the art and recording his progress on this blog
I gather that I’m a bit further in my learning curve than Rob, but he’s certainly making [...]

Dates and accomodation sorted

23-26th of April we will be representing ourselves in Sweden on the yearly spring trip. (Do we ever represent anyone else?)

Spring trip coming up soon.

All these places are within 20 minutes driving.
Get the file here
On a side note, Lasse (the big [...]

Suggestions for the trip

Friday, September 19th, 2008

We have superb coastfishing in the area, but there has been suggestions of a trip with a boat to try something different and get some Cod.
