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 […]

Tay report Monday May 2nd 2016

According to Fishtay Tony had 25 on Stenton and Upper Murthly last week so there must be a good few fish about. […]
