I have just finished a new page on the website, written by Sandy
This should prove a really useful addition, a guide that will certainly help to catch a few fish

Had a wee wander down my new local today, can't wait to to take the walk with a 2wt next season.
Back in the days when you had fun taking a few pics, waited till you'd finished the roll of film, took it in to get developed, and then picked the photos up a few days later

Note to self: Get that strap round your neck, and don't carry the case like a handbag
Classic fishing catalogues - have you got any stashed away?
About 15ft long, the first two sections are greenheart, the tip section is split cane.
I was going to hang this one in the fishing hut, but never got round to it.

The hot weather has been terrible for fishing but on the plus side, i've noticed a big increase in pollinators visiting my garden.
I've packed the garden with Bee,Moth and Butterfly, friendly plants and this year has been the best yet.

But about 28 degrees ..... certainly not helping the water temperatures on the Don!
Great location for a wild Camp ⛺️
An enjoyable evening at Lochter with 'The Snowbee Wader Boys', George, Brian and Pete.
Very bright conditions, but we all caught a few fish
Popping little CDC Emergers out to the middle of the loch was great fun, I normally fish #3 and #5 lines on the river and I'd forgotten just how good the Smallstream #7 line is for this kind of presentation.
With U.K. temperatures forecasted to possibly hit 40c . I think it will be a few Mondays before am back on the river banks

Spotted this today, Yellow May I think, but I am sure someone can advise. What patterns are used for these on the Don, any suggestions? 🤙
Don to the left, Dee to the right, kept my eyes on the water - but no fish spotted.
