So, it’s trout fishing season once again and yet the blog is strangely quiet. I was excited to get out there and do some fishing but unfortunately I’ve had very little time due to moving festung YorkshireFlyFishing to a new…
Roundhay Fly Fishers Fuddle
Just a quickie. This week we held our annual Xmas fuddle. Sadly the attendance was a little low this year, with one member even fleeing to Australasia just to avoid the event. It is often a rambunctious affair and this…
River pike
A few weeks ago I went on an outing with the PAC (Pike Angling Club) to a lake in West Yorkshire and learned lots of things from some very experienced pike anglers. Sadly, I also learned that my new Okuma…
