I do hope you are all keeping safe and well in this dreadful time. Giving you the latest updates on my various activities, I must sadly say our Russia trip for the end of May is now cancelled along with the rest of the program on the Varzuga for 2020. Whilst this is of course […]

CV update 21st March: Royal Dunkeld Hotel is now closed.
Following the Government’s decision to close all pubs clubs restaurants and bars, The Royal have had no alternative but to close for a minimum of one month from today. The fishing remains open for our Murthly week and Donald is keen for us to go, but without accommodation and with the distinct possibility of a […]
Coronavirus update 20th March
With most of those who have booked dropping out of the Dalmarnock courses, I have spoken to Colin and we have taken the decision to try to postpone the first week, hopefully until later this summer or until next spring if necessary. The fishing remains available for anyone who wants to or can still go. […]
Season Opens and Corvid 19
Firstly, I hope you are all safe and well in these difficult times. Well at least we managed to get the trout season underway here at the farm, with the first fish of the season to John P. Mild conditions and astonishingly clear water, given all the rain recently and a good hatch of midge, […]

Although I am following the national news on a daily basis, as no doubt are you, I am still intending to run my courses at the farm, my Scottish courses and fishing and international trips as scheduled. I think we are all a lot safer out fishing than just about anywhere else!
East Ranga, Iceland. 3 days fishing July 2019 Report
The brief was to go out much earlier than my traditional Iceland trip to find fewer grilse but meet up with some of the bigger fish that are often getting stale by August. And East Ranga delivered. The fishing was not easy, cold water, heavy tips and heavy flies and casting skills to match required, […]
East Ranga, Iceland 11th July 2019
Yesterday afternoon saw some serious action in the big fish dept. Norman G got a 20+ pounder on beat 5 and David H lost a huge fish on beat 1. 5 fish in all for the group and just one was a Grilse. This morning Cecil D lost a fish of 18lbs or so at […]
East Ranga, Iceland 10th July 2019
Very strange afternoon yesterday. It clouded over after lunch and we thought we would be in business and yet at close of play no one had caught a single fish other than on beat 1 (not guys from our team) which produced 6. This morning was also hard going but Cecil and I winkled one […]
East Ranga, Iceland 9th July 2019
We arrived yesterday afternoon to fish the evening session. Much earlier than our usual Iceland trip so not expecting large numbers of Grilse, but more the bigger fish. And we were not disappointed bringing in 10 fish for our group of 8 rods in the first session with several in the 10 – 15lb class […]
Varzuga 18th – 25th May 2019
A lot of wows but what a week we had!!! We arrived on the 18th at Lower Sabacchi, with the pyramid stone about 6 inches under water and the ice all gone in the previous few days. It just doesn’t get better to find those conditions for our week. This year 25 years since I […]
