Two years since I have been to the Varzuga – 2017 we had to cancel due to the river being still frozen and last year I couldn’t go. So it is with growing enthusiasm I see that the Varzuga blog is now running www.varzuga.com and having spoken with Charlie who is going out this Friday […]

2019 Salmon fishing & courses availability
MURTHLY 8th – 13th 2019 – I have now had responses from my Murthly regulars, only to hear that one poor chap’s daughter has decided to get married at that time and he cannot go. Thus I have one rare spare space on the Monday to Wednesday Improvers and one rod remaining on the three […]
Varzuga 2018
Although I am very sadly unable to go this year myself, Charlie has just informed me that 2 rods have come available in my traditional week 18th – 26th May. This is what I think is the best week on what is probably the most productive Atlantic salmon fishing anywhere in the world – and […]
VARZUGA TRIP CANCELLED!
Just to let everyone know, I have just received confirmation from Charlie at Roxton’s that our forthcoming trip to Varzuga has been cancelled. For the first time in the 23 years I have been going to Varzuga, the river is still frozen half way through what should have been the first week running now and […]
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 […]
