Fly fishing films and videos
Martin joergensen from global fly fishers raises a few points on fly fishing videos what he likes and doesn't like and far play to him he does actually raise a few points that I agree with and some I don’t , I suppose its down to taste when he talks about a fast forward clip of loading a boat with gear that would take 25 Min's maybe in normal time but seeded up it takes 25 seconds well I actually like that and martin doesn't well that doesn't make him a bad person doesn't make me a bad person for liking it , I thought it was a very interesting article , click the link below to go visit the offending read on the global fishers fly site .

could there be a thaw on the way

you wouldn't think so from the picture below well i took a long work yesterday down my local just to check it out and to see if there was the odd spot i could maybe get into with the fly and although there was the odd spot under Bridges that's were clear of ice I've never had anything from these swims before so don't know if i should just hang on for my favorite hot swims to clear like the one below hopefully with rain today it wont be long

one of the bridge swims below yup looks really promising but never had anything from these spots before but its still nice to look into this clear water just maybe you'd get a glance of a baitfish or two but this water sees all the baitfish shoal up in the deeper water before they spread out when it warms up so ill probably wait till it thaws at these spots to have a go

you got to laugh

as a rule i usually hate any kind of litter and abuse of the waterways but i had to laugh when i saw this maybe if it stays in place it will become a feature to fish to but i doubt it somebody from the posh houses will complain and the council will be down with a team of a 50 workers to access the health and safety angle of removing it from the ice ahhhhhhhh red tape gone mad but i thought id share it with you anyway


lots of very cool stuff has happened in the last few weeks so ill tell all over the next few days but I'm very excited about some new projects and looks like weather permitting I'm going to get out somewhere next week , although not as cool as my brother who's heading of to Florida for a weeks fishing tomorrow look forward to kens pike adventures updates while hes down there chasing peacocks , big largemouths and anything else that's daft enough to throw itself on the rednecks hook
