First outing in April

Before I start, here’s a reminder….FISHING LICENSE! Decided to nip up to Beaverdyke for the last couple of hours daylight in order to round off my Sunday in style. The winds were relatively light, all things considered but still pretty…

Ill-conceived trip to the Wharfe

Finding myself at a loose end on Saturday I drove to the Wharfe at Burley-in-Wharfedale (Yorkshire Anglers stretch) to blow out some cobwebs on my river tackle. It seemed to take me ages to do anything but tackling up was…

Aerial Reconnaissance

We scrambled one of yorkshireflyfishing’s interceptors last week to patrol our no-fly zone over the reservoirs. No enemy aircraft or poachers were spotted so we were able to spend time taking a few photos. Sadly the thick haze, perspex windows…

Red Kites over Harewood

Fly fishing this is not, but I figured some of you may be interested. After all, we all like to look at birds…don’t we? I took a trip to the Harewood estate last week on the off-chance that I might…

Fly fishing courses at Prince Henry’s grammar school in Otley

I received an email today informing me of a new fly fishing course running at Prince Henry’s grammar school in Otley this year. Maybe of interest to some of you? I’ve no connection with these courses, or the people who run…

RFF Splinter Cell – Wykeham Outing

My preparation for this outing was sub-standard, to say the least. Spicy hot curry the night before, about 4 hours sleep and the unfortunate acquisition of a stinking cold all made for a tired boy. Nevertheless I managed to arrive at Wykeham…
