East Ranga, Iceland trip 2016
How would you describe what a perfect few fishing days should be like? Nice fishing conditions but challenging at times? The fishing not too easy and so all the more rewarding when success comes through putting in the effort and searching the water? The chance of not only a nice run of Grilse but some bigger fish too? Well East […]
Iceland East Ranga August 1st 2016
Nice fishing day, overcast and mild. We struggled on beat 2 with just 1 grilse for a lot of hard work, but we did see a good run of fish come past. They obviously stopped in beat 3 (ravens Rock) because Cecil D managed 5 and Eric W 2 With 4 fish from beat 3 […]
Iceland East Ranga 31st July 2016
Better fishing day today with broken cloud and not so much sun. We got 8 fish off beat 4 this morning with a red letter day for John M landing 4 of 6, 10, 12 & 14lbs and losing another. Over on beat 5, Eric W got 3 and Cecil D 1 fish. Not sure […]
Iceland East Ranga 30th July 2016
Blisteringly hot and sunny today without the wind that we had yesterday. Catches this morning correspondingly thin on the ground with only one fish reported from John R’s party lower down and nothing other than a couple of tales of woe from my team. Yesterday afternoon and evening session ended up with 2 more Grilse […]
ICELAND update 29th July 2016
East Ranga nice and clear but bright sun and strong winds not helping our cause. None the less the river is giving us some good sport with 5 fish for our first session last evening including a couple of 12 pounders and a magnificent 17 pounder for Eric W. This morning we have had 10 fish, 5 […]
ICELAND before we go
News just in from Charlie White, who returned from East Ranga this afternoon. His group had 125 Salmon for three days, which whilst (by East Ranga standards) not record breaking is still good fishing. The serious additional fact is that nearly all the fish they caught were between 10 and 20 lbs and they also caught a […]
David Monk checks out…
I am very sad to have to report that David Monk finally passed away yesterday (19th June) at the age of 94. David will be well known to many of my fishing friends and pupils as he was a regular at Upper Caberston and my Murthly Castle Scottish salmon courses and came on many of my overseas trips. […]
Field & Country Fair 10th 11th & 12th June 2016
I will be doing my thing at Cornbury Park in Oxfordshire 10th, 11th & 12th June 2016. Demonstrations and hands on tuition over the three days down at the lakes with Hywel Morgan. Please do come along. At least the last demonstration I did had a keen audience!
Tay week of 2nd May 2016 – ends on a bonanza!
As previously reported, the first couple of days of the week were spoiled by a lift in water to nearly 4ft but as the river dropped as the week went on, so our chances improved. Saturday ended our week with a veritable bonanza, after I had had to leave early in the morning to drive south for […]
