A veritable tying frenzy

  After struggling to find usable Klinkhammers in my fly box whilst at Scar House I knocked up these bad boys when I got back. The hook I used is the Varivas 2200BL which I think makes a nice profile…

Making Fullers Earth Mix

This is another of my ‘How I did it’ articles rather than a “How to do it’ but hopefully it will prove useful! Whilst at Carsington I realised I’d lost my sinkant and upon my return home went online to…

Dry Fly Sherry?!

Happy New Year!   Just come across a rather fetching bottle of sherry, unopened I might add. God knows how old it is – probably undrinkable now but you’ve gotta love the name, the label and the free Bloody Butcher…
