text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so as you can see it can easily be done and is a fantastic method when urban towpath fly fishing gets a bit sketchy with people and trees , of course you can also fish these with all the usual types of lure rigs texas rigged , carolina rigged and whatever method you like , a lot of folks like using cherubuska weights and that is also a method i enjoy .</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">so you dont need to go out and buy fly tackle in fact not everybody takes to fly fishing so this is a perfect compromise indeed i know folks that use my flies deep see fishing over wrecks and catch some bloody good fish so think outside the box and give it a go .</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

One of the best scraps I've had for a long time. The big girl would literally come in until the leader was visible and stay low, then as soon as I started pulling her up she would go mad. Run off into the current and take the entire 30' head and about 10' of running line with her. This happened God knows how many times before I even got to see what it was. I genuinely thought it was a massive catfish as I've heard rumours of them popping up in this particular area of the river. All caught on the fly again (@mcfluffchucker roach pattern) literally fished this river with lures since I moved down in March, exact same areas and only a handful of jacks and a couple of low doubles, definitely weary clever fish.

<b><u>Armageddon </u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so the world is in lockdown with this virus , it is indeed an awful time for people and indeed here in Edinburgh the city is resembling a zombie movie set , empty streets no traffic , its actually really quite strange days .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
im actually off work just now with a knee injury so pretty much im in forced isolation , although being classed as a critical i would have been going in to work .but please wherever you are keep your familys safe and only go out for meds or food .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but you know there is a flip side to this we as anglers love to be waterside , its what we do , the government has said we can go out and exercise for an hour as long as we keep a distance between other people but we cant fish .but here is the thing we always keep a distance when fishing we go out to isolated places a lot of the time i really dont understand the difference to be honest but hey you know thats just my thoughts , guess we all have to abide by the rules .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but wherever you are stay safe folks and avoid public places and mass gatherings , nothing is going to stop it but we can slow it down .</div>

although not fishing just now ive been productive in other ways in the cave , i still have a few orders to get out although obviously flies have slowed down a lot , which is understandable in the current situation , nobody is getting out , even my local angling centre has closed its doors i just really hope those guys are getting some form of wages as we still have bill to pay .</div>

a lot of tying has been going on lately , i love dyckers fibres and i really like the flies edwin from dyckers makes so had to do some for my own boxes , interesting that edwin hasn't used flash in his flies for a couple of years now and he is still catching some fantastic fish makes you think a bit .</div>

i think the biggest difference between anglers here and in the usa is the fact that your either a fly guy or a gear guy (gear being lures) from what ive seen although some do both . here in the uk we tend to do all sorts and mix and match methods .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i mean in the uk look at the rise in popularity of lrf fishing in the angling world and indeed a great method for catching a whole heap of mini species as well as getting some great sport from perch and smaller fish when bigger fish are getting harder to find and hell yea why not .</div>

so i thought about my younger days and remember when the river bailiff wasn't watching we would take our worm hooks off and put on the holy of holys a mepps agila , which basically was a mepps lure with a bit of fluff tied on the treble , but christ we had some fish on those things including a ton of big grayling happy days .</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the hotcore first made an appearance around 8 years ago when i was just messing around on the vice , the idea is to have a very sparsely tied fly that was almost translucent but had a core of dense flash as a strike point. there is a video on youtube if you want to check it out </div>

the hook is a 6/0 czt which if you want to purchase you can find here <a href="https://www.spanglefish.com/mcfluffchuckerflies/index.asp?pageid=695273" target="_blank">czt predator hook</a> my reason for using this type of hook is that your not actually using a lot of material on the actual fly is very mobile in the water and also you spend less time untangling fibres as happens in j hooks sometimes , this hook has the same amount of hook ups as other hooks and i fish it with confidence .</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so that time of year when ill say to everyone "have a cool yule" and enjoy time with your family and loved ones or friends or whoever you celebrate with , i will be working a night shift on Christmas night but thats part of my job i have to do either that or new year so it was my turn to pull the Christmas night shift but on the plus side i can have a dinner with my mrs before i go .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but you know wherever you are in the world and you celebrate the festival id ask to maybe have a look around your neighbourhood for somebody who has no family and will be on there own and see if they would like a Christmas dinner dropping round , i mean we all cook way too much anyway , just do one good deed , you'll be making somebody's day ive done it the last few years , takes a few mins of your day .......spread the love.</div>

so ive had a really busy year on the fly front and not really done much else between work and tying flies , but it was nice to catch up with brother ken "pikepicker" over in vermont and as usual when he video called he was on the toilet but i have no idea what the screen shot of our conversation shows , i dread to think .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so during our conversation we got to talking about bucktail , ken is the master of bucktails and makes some very cool flies , to be honest i struggle finding decent bucktail in the uk , i used to buy it from orvis in Edinburgh but there really isnt as much of a choice colour wise but it was prime northern bucktail which was awesome stuff but kinda not worth going there anymore since john left , the fly tying side is pretty awful and overpriced .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i was telling ken about an experience i had buying veinyards (which can be sporadic length wise) but the next best thing , so i bout 4 whole tails from a company i have bought from before , and when they arrived i was actually dubious that they were in fact veinyards as they were in a clear bag with a lazer jet printed label , so i asked if these were genuine bucktails and was told they were , but that was a bit of a white lie .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i contacted veinyards and sent pictures of the tails and packaging and what they told me was that they were actually seconds and not there top grade as is usual in the yellow package , these were bagged up and sold cheaply and should not have had there name on .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when presented with these facts the seller said just send them back , really just send them back , they just didnt give a toss really , i mean by all means sell them but dont pull the wool over our eyes by making out they are top grade .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i mean yea ok you can still use them but i only use the best materials for my flies i can get so i was really hacked off about this .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i urgently needed some good long fiber bucktail so again turned to online and found a store actually not far from me mabey an hour or so south that did it so i thought id give them a try and to be honest they were ok probably the same quality as hareline but i thought it was a tad expensive at £7:25( around $10:00 us) plus postage so not the cheapest but the service was good here is the link </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://vflyfishing.com/74-furs-and-dubbing" target="_blank">http://vflyfishing.com</a> the same bucktails from casters fly shop in the states <a href="http://www.castersonlineflyshop.com/hair-fur-3/" target="_blank">casters fly shop</a> is £5.37 ($7.25) so a bit of a difference but by the time i was to add postage it would probably be the same if not more (dave at casters has said around £10:00 uk) so that would actually work out around the same as uk prices but superior tails if you can wait then worth it , unfortunately i need stuff within a few days if i get an order in and i havent got a colour </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but quite simply the american have far superior bucktail than us in </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so brother ken actually sources his own tails and superior lengths and having tied with them while i was over i can say they are really awesome tails so i may come home with a load next time im over lol</div>

ok so i had a delivery of my favourite go to fibre in the form of <a href="https://www.dyckers.com/product-category/shop-tying/" target="_blank">dyckers fiber </a> , again i know i go on a lot about this fibre but i know no longer use ep fiber at all and for these types of synthetics i on use dyckers (no im not sponsored i just love the stuff) so when i get a delivery im really like a kid in a sweetshop </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at the moment im tying a lot of these in kinda one colour (with flash nixed in) the reason being is that these are what i call a uni fly because they can be used not only on a fly rod but also on lure gear , if using fixed spool reels these can be flicked out a fair distance and also on light baitcasting gear they are great for canals and close work or used with cherabuska weights they are great for distance work and can be worked very slow along the bottom , a great all-round fly </div>

another uni fly this time a classic white pattern with a pearl flash blended in and a hard eye , these eyes are particularly for this fly when fishing fixed spools as there is just enough weight for a good flick , this is a firm favourite for canals </div>

the other thing with dyckers fibres is they take permanent markers very well , the fly above started life as pure white , so let your imagination run riot , you dont need to have gone to art school to make great looking flies . </div>

another dyckers fibre fly this time in rainbow trout colours , to be honest all you really need is 3 colours for a basic one but if you want to be really fancy you can add green an purple as well but this is a staple colour that works well </div>

i love messing around with brown trout patterns , this coloration i go from a picture of a highland loch brown trout , but there are many variations with browns so just have fun and go with it , always worth looking at pictures of baitfish from your local to match the hatch so to speak .</div>

a standard type baitfish tyed on a 4/0 nice pattern that will catch anywhere really in fresh or saltwater , the way this is trimmed gives a really nice small baitfish look and dosnt lose the profile when fished </div>

i just love tying up flies in natural materials and i always think that natural flies have an advantage over synthetics in fishing (i may be wrong ) but the way they move in the water and how they profile when wet is completely different to synthetics you may beg to differ but hey i like tying them and fishing them.</div>

i was lucky enough the other week to score a load of really nice icelandic sheephair from a seller actually in iceland , it was actually a really great price as well , i know traditionally icelandic sheep hair is used for salmon tube flies but in recent years pike tiers have taken it onboard for pike flies , the great thing about sheep hair is how it tapers .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it literally has a thick end and a thin end which if you dont thin out the thick end you get a really nice profile fly and actually looks great and mobile in the water , if you havent tried it yet then give it a go</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
again the only down side is usually price , ok if your tying for yourself but not great if your tying 10 at a time , but they look great and awesome to fish , although can be a little weighty when wet but not quite like chucking an old wet sock about . </div>

flies flies flies , you know theres so many pike fly patterns out there and theirs new patterns hitting the web seems like every week you see the next must have fly and company's getting there little Africans furiously tying them up to get them into shops .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
its funny how the flavour of the week must have fly soon becomes relegated to the bottom of the fly box never to be seen again </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we had the bunny bug then dan blantons flashtail whistler is one of those (famously nicked by a well know company without a nod to the original designer) everybody wanted it , then there was big clouser minnows , seaducers , leftys decivers , game changers and now we have great big flies with tails .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thing is these flies are probably the only flies youll ever need in a box and youll always catch fish on them but i really think we are over complicating our fly fishing for no other reason than to be seen with the latest must have , none of those flies will catch you more than other flies , the trick is to get a fly past a fish and if its not on , then annoy it enough to strike . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but you know i have thousands of flies in my boxes but only ever really fish half a dozen patterns in various colours , but its the angler in us that actually makes us want to have an edge and give a pike something they haven't seen but hey i dont think thats going to change soon .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
its quite funny but somebody somewhere is going to catch a hog on a bunny bug and will have anglers delving into there boxes to find the bunnys they bought in 1997 .</div>

<b><u>upcoming trends</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as you know i tye a lot of flies and do a lot of bespoke orders and some folks like really big flies 12 inchs plus , ive worked hard on making massive flies as lightweight as possible . but some folks like small flies up to 4 or five inchs and do really well on them .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one trend i have seen is for flies without flash and the flies without flash catch just as much as sparkly flies but there is defiantly a move to more plain more movement flies but you know everything has its place and ultimately if your confident in what your fishing then thats half the battle , ultimately get it past em </div>

there is currently a trend for massive flies and again have been requested to do a range for the website , most of these flies are quite expensive due to being labour intensive and are tied to order but my price will be a lot cheaper than you can currently get them (shops in the states are selling these at £30:00 a fly) mine will be a lot cheaper but without scrimping on quality stay tuned , these things are are awesome , if you wish to pre order these please mail me with sizes and colours </div>

well recently went on a road trip down to engerland and came across this lovely lake while on a pit stop googled it and turns out it has pike perch and the odd trout in it , and the one time ive ever seen buddy duke without a rod in his car bloody typical but when we travel to gigs we always tend to go this way so we may get a shot, a fiver a day apparently maybe leave a few hours earlier next time</div>

so im blessed to live in quite an amazing city , full of history going way way back to the dark ages of mankind , the city has its fishing opportunity's if you know where to look and it can take a while to find those spots and then folks are inclined not to share them which i understand and dont do myself so a spot doesn't get cleared out by those who just want food </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
saying that there used to be a massive problem with eastern Europeans taking everything they caught and waters were being destroyed , this seems to be on the reverse now with a lot of fish going back but its still an up hill struggle .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so you can understand why so much cloak and dagger stuff among uk anglers , we are protecting our sport , but as i say attitudes are changing with education , so my local grab and go spot is the union canal in edinburgh hardly a secret venue and most anglers in the city know it . </div>

we fished along our usual spots and with the tempretures dropping in scotland the fish are starting to feed well but we didnt really touch anything in the first couple of hours , probably to busy on the tow path with people going to work and cyclists so we headed away to a couple of other spots we knew produced </div>

so ben was first way with a nice little scrapper which took a fancy to the blitzkrieg minnow </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now i may point out here that your really never going to get into the big girls on the canal , although they are there , your more likely going to catch micro pike .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but too me i dont really care fish is fish right , and if you scale your gear down then you can actually have some great fun with these , ive done the big fish thing back in the 90s and to be honest i have much more fun doing this i mean i caught a couple and dropped around 6 or 7 fish ,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my gear was quite simple a 6wgt rod , floating line and around 5ft of 8lb fluro leader a rucksack with a box of flies , spool of fluro and unhooking gear and that was it and i covered a few miles , i just love this kind if fishing , and yea besides pike threes also perch , roach and a few surprise species that turn up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i mean its a fiver a year to fish how can you go wrong so if your going to fish join here click the link </div>

so finally my turn and this is actually the stamp of fish you get along there but you know i dont mind great for a few hours sport and literally a short bus journey away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
more people should get out and do this as it is great fun and not all of use can have the luxury of getting further away for a few days due to lifes commitments . i mean i work night shifts so in actual days off im usually recovering or tying flies so yea life can get in the way sometimes , and this is why this is so important to me and of course i have the local sea fishing as well on my doorstep .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yea you know to me its getting out there enjoying your surroundings and learning your craft catching fish is always a bonus , i have zero time for the big i am anglers because you know at the end of the day the fish dont care what gear you use , who you tye for or how many likes you get on facebook , just get out there and enjoy it people </div>

so somewhat busy , i have also been working on my new website for flies and some materials , this has taken me quite sometime and is an ongoing labour of love and a big thanks to all who have bought stuff so on there so far .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
now i have to say this isnt a get rich quick big i am thing , those who know me will know that i shy away from all the pro team stuff and really just do it for the love , and well to be honest it pays for materials as i have no sponsorship by anyone , which is why i can also offer unbiased reviews of materials and the like and to be honest its nice just to have it all in one place rather than have to write hundreds of messages i can just send a link </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">you know social media can be your friend or your worst enemy i have accounts on most of them but dear god facebook is certainly the worst for keyboard warriors and opinionated knobheads , the times ive seen some poor chap on a species dedicated page like trout , pike , perch etc and then get absolutely hammered by the fish police , you know the ones incorrect handling , incorrect way of fishing etc etc etc Jesus christ we were all beginners once , how about giving people advice rater than tearing into them for something they may not be aware of as they are new to fishing .</span></div>

where abouts is that mate (mate ? i dont even know you ) he always pops up on those pictures and if hes lucky enough to get a location he will want the time of day , the bait , the water temperature, breaking strain of line ffs just get out there and fish , learn watercraft , i dont mind helping folks out with a rough area and they can work it out themselves but jesus these guys do my head in , probably the same guys who are all over the internet come summer asking if the mackerel are in . does my head in .</div>

the problem i have is that the bucktail in this country is awful in my opinion i always struggle with finding decent bucktail , the best ive discovered so far is either orvis or veinyards but they can be hit and miss , it would be really nice to have a regular supply i could rely on , and in fact one of the reasons there isnt a lot of buttails flies on my website as i can find consistency in them </div>

without a doubt the main man for tying small streamers is brother ken from 812flyworks on instagram he actually really has a magic tough when it comes to these streamers and is a constant source of inspiration , ive seen first hand the tails he uses are superb , and of course brother ken hunts his own materials as well and is highly skilled in bow hunting </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
last time i was over he showed me some of the spots up trees he hunts from which was quite cool , i guess next time im over ill be raiding his freezer for tails </div>

ok so whats been happening , well quite a lot since January although not much on the fishing front as i have started a new job which consists of working 12 hour night shifts which to be honest gets in the way a little to be getting out chucking fluff around but hey got to pay the bills and sadly my father passed away so had a lot to deal with there also so aint been easy .<br />
<br />
but i have been also very busy in the back ground tying flies for shops around the globe and private orders from folks who incidentally are getting out and catching fish pictures you will find further down this massive ramble but bear with me .<br />
<br />
also i decided that it was time to have a proper (of sorts) website to sell my flies through rather than just off the blog and some predator tying materials so if you click the banner above it will take you there , now this isnt some site to make buckets of cash and have exotic holidays , far from it , its a site where i can keep everything in one place and direct enquires to the website , ultimately what it does is help me buy materials and the odd takeaway , so this has taken a while to do .<br />
<br />
the website is an ongoing monster that ill be adding to very regularly with new patterns and fly packs for anglers around the globe so please keep checking back on it , updates will be in the news section at the top of the website page . so thanks in advance for taking a look<br />
<br />
also the site isnt just predator flies it covers predator , saltwater , coarse and carp flies and also cover jig flies you can use on lure rods , and my fast growing stoner wormz but more about that later . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

so my fishing trips have been few and far between and pretty much limited to a few hour sessions very local and mostly saltwater<br />

i started the year of with a trip with kireen to the lake of menteith which was somewhat blustery and we wernt sure if we would get out , but we decided that as we were already here we may as well , long and short of it was that we survived rain storms and wind and searched all over my favourite spots but the pike were unwilling to play ball today but i ended up with a solitary rainbow trout for our efforts but its a stunning place to fish and i always enjoy fishing there <br />

i spent a nice few hours fishing around newhaven in the early morning as the sun came up looking for flounders but nothing was obliging but it was nice to be out .<br />
<br />
i also spent a nice morning with ben from Edinburgh anglers on the local canal chasing down pike and perch<br />

we only managed one little jack each but it kinda proved that the jigs work and to be honest it was a ball breaker of a morning with bright sunshine so not the best of conditions but the bonus is that there is a lovely little coffee barge that opens quite early so nice to sit and have a chat and a coffee , ben had an appointment late morning so the session was quite short but i actually really enjoyed it and great company and it was also great to see pike sitting midwater and try to get them to attack our jigs but they were not having it but like i said great fun.</div>

granton breakwater is a much loved local fishing spot and actually a decent venue and really good to fly fish from , unfortunately it also brings out the utter idiots in summertime who think it totally acceptable to leave all there rubbish . beer bottles and associated crap all over the breakwater .</div>

seriously i really dont know what is wrong with these people and sooner or later they are going to get the place closed down to anglers , come on people take your crap home , i have to say on a footnote that the edinburgh anglers guys regularly remove rubbish when they go down there but it really boils my piss that they have too . so just clean up after yourselves </div>

so when i fish the salt i usually take just a small amount of stuff in a small rucksack so i can stay mobile and i tend to use small flies also as i find this to be the most productive so pretty much all sandeel type patterns and small clousers , i also take some bigger streamers in size 4/0 should i want to live dangerously and fish in amoungst the kelp for the cod and wrasse </div>

the wind this afternoon was coming from my back which made casting very much a pleasure , i tend to use an intermediate line and i have been using the airflo cold water line in a 9wgt along with a bluetooth nano which i have to say is the best combo ive ever used , hell that rig seriously fires the flies out .</div>

so as i said i like to use an intermediate line simply for the fact that i can search a lot of water depths with it and unless im fishing really shallow or ultra deep then this is the choice of line i always use and as i said when ive been using clousers it really does fire a lot of line out , very happy</div>

so i fished in total about 3 hours which consisted of an hour before and after high tide i found that after the tide started dropping it was ripping the line away to fast so couldn't really make a good presentation and if i was at the spot i wanted to be at i could have fished longer but there was a couple of fellas there so that stuffed that up .......oh well </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i really only had one vicious hit which from the feel of it i think was a sea trout which are bloody notorious for throwing the hooks in the salt , mabey next time , but im going to fish it again on an early morning tide when theirs nobody around and i can pick my spots </div>

i have a little spot 10 mins walk away that i like to fish if i have a few hours , unfortunately fly fishing is not an option there so i had to invest in a lrf outfit just for some sport in this deepwater mark and to be honest ive really enjoyed it , i fish ultra light with 6lb braid and pencil thin ultra light rods so even the smallest of cod are buckets of fun .</div>

the cave , my place of sanctuary far away from the stress of modern life and where i spend a lot of my time . i have now rigged up a tablet and soundbar so now i can listen to tunes while i tye and invent , and as ive said i do spend a lot of time tying up orders and sometimes stores require 10 of each pattern so it good to have a comfortable space to work in \</div>

i have recently become a complete convert to<a href="https://www.dyckers.com/product-category/shop-tying/" target="_blank"> dyckers fiber </a> over ep fiber i have found there fiber to be far superior to ep both in cost and amount of material in a pack and it makes stunning flies and also what has always been a major headache to me availability of colours so if you tye with ep fiber i seriously suggest that you give this a try , you will not be disappointed </div>

<b><u>STONER WORMZ</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
ok what are stoner wormz<b><i><u>, </u></i></b>well i originally got the idea from my last trip over to see brother ken capsey (pike picker) who showed me a rather cool bass fly and straight away i couldn't help but think how i could change it a bit for fishing not only on fly rods but i though how cool they would be if i could make them to be cast on lure rods so i played around a bit and came up with a desighn i was happy with and would incorporate everything a fishing lure needed , it needed to be attractive and annoying enough that predators would hit it with gusto but also have the finesse of movement when fished very slowly and im so happy with what its become and theres plenty of catches being made on these .<br />
<br />
now not only on fly and lure rods butt guys deep sea fishing have been slaying cod and pollock from boats on these fished both eddystone eel style on a long flowing trace and fishing them 3 on a trace straight over the side so yes they work and im coming up with new designs all the time on these heres the link to some patterns <a href="https://www.spanglefish.com/mcfluffchuckerflies/index.asp?pageid=697666" target="_blank">stoner wormz </a> i shall be adding more patterns this week<br />

a straight weedless stoner on a 6/0 jig hook , this is really effective for getting down among the kelp where fish hide without getting snagged up , just cast out on a lure rod and let the weight of the hook sink it down , great natural movement </div>

also have been playing around with lightweight synthetic beads . now these work extremely well although they take a while to make as i have to drill out the holes to get them on the hook , but i simply tye bucktail behind the bead and thats it , takes more time to drill the hole than actually tie the fly </div>

the beads are extremely light and when i tested them they sank very slowly so i was able to fish them right over the weed beds so obviously this has many advantages , i fished these on an lrf outfit with 6lb braid and was able to cast clear to the other side of my local canal , very impressed at how these work so watch this space </div>

the below 4 pictures are standard lead head bucktail jigs tied on savage gear jig hooks with the weight already on so just a case of tying in the bucktail simple but effective </div>

these ive been playing around with quite a lot and have proved to be very effective , now again you can fish these on either fly or lure rods and for lure rods you can fish them weightless just flick them out and twitch them back with deadly effect </div>

brother dan is a very cool fella and a heap of fun to hang out with dan picked me up from brother ken and we headed over to dans place for some breakfast got to say the Americans do a fine breakfast and dan was no exception and i really enjoyed his sausage and cheese wraps and coffee </div>

dan has a very laid back style of cooking breakfast just chop it chuck it in the pan and eat standing up talking about fishing its how he rolls much like ken must be a Vermont thing most enjoyable. </div>

so zero fish but a great day but it wasnt over yet indeed not after getting heading back towards ken we decided to go tackle the river tanks in the river just below where ken lives now ive fished this before but not further up so this was a new bit of water for me but dan had fished it before so he knew where he was going </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fishing these places for smallmouth bass is totally 100% different than anything you'll experience fly fishing in the uk from fast shallow rivers to deeper rock strewn deep water where you perch on rocks and chuck weighted streamers at the tanks that lye below and im telling you pound for pound there is no finer fish to catch on a fly than these things seriously they go like rockets .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for this bit of the river with deeper runs it was the domain of clousers and leaded streamers to get down to them </div>

these flys are pretty fun to make but remember to only use very small amounts of fiber the thickness of a pencil lead is about right this gives the fly great movement in the water and ultra lightweight to cast .</div>

as ive said many times before ken makes an outstanding breakfast probably due to his younger days as a server in burger king (when i found this out mid trip i then proceeded to say "do you want fries with that " everytime he asked for something much to my amusement" ) , anyway we decided this day we would head out to the big lake "champlain" where i had an amazing time last trip with all sorts coming to the boat so i was kinda pumped for doing this , ken had checked the weather and although windy it was due to flateen off early evening so we decided it would be pike time . i still hadn't got a champlain pike yet so was something i was keen to get into and ad to my list .</div>

we made up the rods before we took off , so much easier just to break em down and store ready to throw together and get fishing asap , i also love kens boat , perfect for zipping about in the shallow water and have some great memories of the last trip on this so was kinda cool to be in it again and ken has it fitted out to be fly fishing friendly , great boat . </div>

of course there was a bridge over it so as every fisherman all over the world does i went and looked over it , had to be very carefull though crossing the road as the cars come from the opposite direction , which is actually really bizarre for the head , if youve been to the states youll know what i mean . thankfully i got to look off both sides without becoming road kill . </div>

actually talking about road kill , ken is hilarious when driving as youll be going along quite nicely chatting away when he will make a weird guttural sound and slow down turn to you and say "did you see that" , this is the point that you realize he has seen dead meat on the road so its kinda like a tye it or fry it situation and if its a fry it well that whats on the menu for the night , i have become quite good at diverting his pea sized brain away from roadkill so thankfully we wont be having flattened skunk at this evenings bbq ...............close call though </div>

one thing i have noticed with ken is that his boat launching skills have improved no end and most of the time he actually gets the boat in first time and usually on the slip , he also has upgraded his engine so looking forward to this one </div>

so the boat in the water and straight away im seeing loads of small baitfish on the surface and occasional splashes where predators are hitting them , fascinating to watch if i had bought the 3 wgt with me i would have chucked on the small minnow flies i tied but i didnt and ken was keen to get out on the lake chasing pike , just the place looked very fishy ......oh well next time maybe </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
so lake Champlain , let me tell you if you didn't know , the place is big let me give you a few facts </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>size</b> -435 square miles of water </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
length - 120 miles </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>width</b> - 12 miles at its widest point</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>depth</b> - average depth is 64 feet but the deepest point is between Charlotte vt and essex ny where it goes down to 400 feet </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>amount of shoreline</b> - 587 miles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>islands</b> - 71</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>watershed </b>- 8,234 squre miles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>there are</b> - 318 bird species on or near it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>has over</b> 90 species of fish and is considered one of the top 5 bass waters in the usa </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oh and theres champ (the U.S equivalent to nessie) but thats a different story</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we headed out to kens favorite hunting grounds on missisquoi bay which by the way is around 14 miles wide at its widest point and an average depth of 15 feet , although the water was a lot shallower at the moment due to lack of rain so we were fishing in the 6 to 10 ft bracket .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we headed out and it was clear to see ken was on the ball and putting us on marks he fishes himself by lining up shore marks , something i also do myself , constantly watching the shore and looking over his shoulder . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ken cut the engine and we slowed down to an almost stop then flies hit the water , ken did say the water was very colored and indeed it was a lot more colored than my previous trip to the point i could only see the fly a few feet away in the water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

i had opted to use one of the new Shakespeare agility 2 fly rods on this trip , i actually bought it as a back up for my pikesabre but as it happens i was so impressed with it i just used it for most of the trip the rod itself is pretty much an upgrade from the previous agility fly rods they had out , this was the #10 wgt which i coupled with a fast sink #11 line ,handled it brilliant with big sinking subbugs , in fact every cast i was into the backing and this was into the wind , a serious bit of kit absolutely recommend it either for a back up rod or a first pike fly rod , you cant go wrong for the cash. </div>

after ken fish i changed over to a classic big 12 inch red head flash fly , hoping to get a reaction from the flash rather than seeing it as an item of food , im a great believer in winding up the predator even if it aint hungry , get something past it to annoy it and 9 times out of 10 it will smash into it .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is where things went dreadfully wrong </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we started drifting over big weed channels so i put the fly at full line length in between the weed a gap of about 3 feet all the way down the weedline even with the wind i was impressed i got it where i wanted it , when the fly was around 20 foot from the boat , BANG the rod arched over and i knew straight away this wasnt a pike , as i got the fish under the rod i looked over to see a massive paddle like tail of a largemouth bass , ken was "dude thats frikin massive" as he said that the line went loose as it dived , for a moment i thought it had come back up so i stripped the line and came to where the braided loop should have been .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
im still having nightmares about this because the loop was completely gone along with leader , and i dont know why , i tye all my own loops and have never lost a fish yet , i test all before i go on the water in fact i have a routine when i rig up , i have no idea at all , suffice to say it lost me my biggest largemouth this is going to haunt me for a long time . nothing else i can say about it </div>

they also have a great silver/white color about them , as per normal picture taken and the fish was released without harm and with a big swish of its tail it went back to the depths surley my time would be next .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
things then started to get a little hairy weather wise , the predicted calm down of wind didn't really happen but everything looked perfect the sun was starting to set it was still warm you'd think the predators would be all over the flies .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but no something didnt feel right we chopped and changed flies from surface flies to bottom flies , bright colors to natural colors nothing was going down , the wind was starting to really push us and ken made the call to head back into the shore , safety always comes first and you dont want to be in trouble on a lake this size , the ride in was quite lumpy right till we got into the mouth of the river so the call was right , although we did chuck a couple at the river mouth but ken said he did have fish from this area but as he said it was usually when there was more water in it .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but hey we certainly tried </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we hitched the boat up and headed back to kens via the local shop for movie snacks (we are both big horror movie fans )as we stood by the checkout the lady asked ken if that was all , ken said yes and of course i said "are you sure i thought you wanted some trojans for you and boris the animal later" always makes me laugh ken not so :-) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where ken lives is actually quite rural and very dark , not much in the of street lights and to be honest i kinda like that , so as we were travelling back along a darkened road ken was like "holy crap look a ufo " i turned to my right and there was some quite bright lights just above the treeline a fair distance from us . "ken bro thats a fecking helicopter" "its not look at it " "bro its got a flashing light at the back and underneath and besides if a ufo was here they are looking for intelligent life to abduct , your quite safe bro " "ken - so you fancy carmi tomorrow bro . dumb redneck</div>

indeed carmi is a beautiful lake and to be honest looking around it could have been any one of a number of lochs in scotland , i always notice that Vermont is so like Scotland in so many ways , well except for the cool food like pumpkin doughnuts , seriously pumpkin doughnuts are so good and java monster coffee , hell we drunk so much of this and the other energy drink that actually turned our pee luminous green , whic was somewhat worrying </div>

anyway i digress , so we went from spot to spot trawled the bottom got in among the weed but not a touch , we then headed across the lake to a more rocky bottom spot and hear we actually had a few hits mid water but couldn't connect so after a while and with the sun starting to set we headed across to the other side again where i had some great smallmouth before , 1st drift ken had a nice smallmouth but that was about it , i had noticed that the water was a lot more coloured than last time i was here and i was thinking mabey id left it a little too late coming over but as ken wasn't catching i really didnt feel that bad i mean this is his backyard .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we called it a day and headed somewhat deflated back to the launch and back to kens to discuss plans over a bbq (thankfully not roadkill) and have a bash around on his quad all good fun </div>

so we enjoyed the rest of the evening eating bbq around the outdoor campfire discussing what was happening and what the plans would be for the coming days and trying to avoid being bitten by weird flying stuff and off course when we had done we retired indoors to annoy alexa with my funny accent , she dosnt quite understand when you call her a dick :-) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
kens wife Naomi had also prepared pizza for us which actually was better than the stuff you get delivered so we chilled out and started to watch hellraiser , actually quite funny because ken was asleep within the first 20 mins of the movie , i resisted the urge to shave his eyebrows off which believe me was quite hard </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

being a travelling angler aint so bad. the biggest worry is usually what flies and gear you need to take and what to leave behind especially when it comes to pike and muskys . luckily anything i am missing can quickly tied up at brother kens. </div>

once you have your destination its really a case of packing what you need for your trip and allowing for any issues that arise like breaking a rod and not having a spare; that can prove costly and indeed ruin a trip if you aint got a tackle shop close) .</div>

i use this orvis rolling luggage and does the job very well and has a great stiff protected bottom dept for rods and boxes that could get busted up during travel; only downside is that it really only accommodates 4 piece rods in 9ft lengths which is a bugger as one of the rods i wanted to take was a 3 piece and wouldn't fit in the case . but all was good as i had another 4 piece in the form of the new Shakespeare agility in a 10 wgt which actually is a bloody great rod for the dosh and perfect for what i need . </div>

so i managed to get eventually everything i needed in the case which was mostly tackle to be honest as i could wash my clothes in the river while i was fishing so only needed a few shirts and some evening where in the form of some sweat pants oh and some roll on and that is pretty much it and how i roll on these trips; so gear sorted time for a good sleep as i was going to be up at 6am the following day .</div>

<b><u>THE JOURNEY</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
usually when i head over to vermont i travel via new york then usually get the vermonter train all the way up to st albans where brother ken picks me up , however this year for whatever reason the flights were very expensive (i later found out it was because i was there when it was labour day so that pushed the prices up) but undeterred i looked for other options and thankfully i know my way around the states quite well so i wasnt worried where i landed in the states as i knew how to get where i wanted .<br />
<br />
so after a look around i decided to go (purely on price) via Chicago and montreal in canada and then a very short hop down to the us border at highgate on lake champlain where i would meet up with ken , so my original plan was to hook up with ken around 1:30 am have a few hours sleep then head up to new york state to float for muskys in the canoe , well that was the plan . </div>

the flight from Edinburgh was pretty much standard with united airlines and as per usual i was approached by boarder agency with a million and one questions ,, which was pretty strange as i was actually queuing to get my tickets but hey you know i dont mind as they are keeping the country safe , so dont really have an issue with this .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so landed in Chicago and picked up my luggage (survived) and headed for immigration , whos only question for me after where i had come from was if i had any haggis in my luggage ( i didn't lol) i had a few hours to wait for my connecting flight up to Montreal so headed for some food and drink to pass the time</div>

the approach to Montreal was very cool with lovely views across the city at night , and i touched down safety and after a lengthy wait i cleared customs (again) with no issues ,, so i walked out into the night and looked for a ride down to the U.S border at highgate on the edge of lake champlain<br />
<br />
here is where i needed to be<br />
the U.S border<br />

actually where i ended up was in the Canadian border crossing some distance away from the us border let me explain </div>

<br />
by the time i got down to the border it was around 3:30 am so i wander in to a very dark border office and i kinda stroll in and surprise two very sleepy border guards who clearly where not expecting anybody to cross so they say<br />
<b>border guard</b>"er what do you want "<br />
<b>me</b> "er to get in "<br />
<b>border guard</b> "in where"<br />
<b>me</b> "er america "<br />
<b>border guard</b> "this is the crossing into canada"<br />
me "fook"<br />
<b>border guard</b> " the american crossing is down the highway there , that big building"<br />
<b>me </b>"how do i get there"<br />
<b>border guard</b> "you walk"<br />
<b>me</b> "fook"<br />
<br />
so i head down the thankfully deserted highway and approach the us border through the car entrance and straight away get apprehended by the american crossing officers who pretty much wanted to know everything since i was conceived about why i wanted into the usa .<br />
<br />
now i quite understand there questioning , i mean the sight of me in shorts t shirt and rolling fly luggage looking like some kind of bizarre Scottish Bigfoot walking down the highway is enough for any border agent to question my motives , anyway they hauled me into the border office and after 30 mins of examining my passport and travel plans they decided that i was safe enough to be let loose on the american fish stocks .<br />
<br />
so by this time i had been keeping ken up to speed on my approximate time of arrival and he lives fairly close to the border so it was pretty much a case of him driving up and picking me up which he did . it was actually so good to see this guy who i call a brother and we hat a long hug and a back slap and you know it was like i hadn't been away and he bought me a monster energy and a pack of roasies jerky so life at this point was very good , id landed back in my second home and i could breath a sigh of relief .</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we arrived back at kens place and i opened up a pack from the guys at svs (knickelback stickers are cool fellas) and by this time it was near to 5am so after pretty much 34 odd hours traveling im guessing youd be thinking id be grabbing some shut eye well nope me and the redneck decided we would load up the canoe and head up into new york state and float a river for muskys im here to fish hard so straight into it .<br />
<br />
the hunt for muskies<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so ken was pretty much my guide on this one as my use of canoes and fishing is virtually zilch , but on the plus side im a great swimmer so the plan was that ken would drop me by the road, next to the river with the canoe , which i would get down the bank and into the water , ken would take the truck and head down stream and then bike back to the start point , to save a bit of time i rigged up the rods and got the boat ready for kens return .</div>

as i said this was my first time fishing from a canoe so i was a little apprehensive on how it was going to go and to be honest i was also a little excited but this would be my only crack at the muskies this trip as i had other things i had to do and fish to catch<br />

so we drifted the river and ken pretty much told me where to cast as we drifted across river that was literally 3 inchs deep going into deep slow flows where the big flies and fast sink lines would hit the deck among the big sunken logs where the muskies live , this was bloody exciting stuff.</div>

drifting down the river with the odd paddle to help us along and i actually saw my first musky firing across the shallows getting out of our way and on the other side of the river a big shoal of suckers going past this was clearly what the muskie was after quite an amazing site </div>

so we tried and we tried and we hit all the spots that ken has had fish from before and we hit spots that were absolutely predator hotspots but it was to no avail we floated for literally miles pushed the canoe over the shallows and fished deep meandering curves of the river i managed 3 hits (didn't connect) and ken had a couple of hits and a few follows but it just wasn't to be .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they say these fish are the fish of 10:000 casts and i can well believe it but you know i absolutely loved it and it was one of the highlights of the trip and im so looking forward to going back and trying that again , what an absolute blast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
those who know will know the river those who dont please dont ask as i respect the wishes of the folks who fish it ....thank you </div>

the breakfast of the vermont angler. ken cooked up a great breakfast with this amazing muffin type thing that with egg and sausage and other stuff , i mean this was absolutely beautiful in fack i actually had two with a cup of kens magic coffee which comes from a machine that i still cant work, but this certainly hit the spot </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
today we were going chasing smallmouths in pocket water and to be honest this is one of the reasons that i keep coming back (well dispite kens cooking) as fishing pocket water is fantastic , dropping in to pools behind massive iceage boulders and rocks chasing these absolute tanks on 7 wgt fly rods in fast water is really, adrenaline pumping stuff and when you hook one well hell you know about it ,, theres no other fish that i know off that can give you a rumble like these things and its always a blast to fish for them . </div>

this river was really something that i havent encountered before a boulder strewn river straight out of the Jurassic age massive rocks and boulders both in the river and on the bank which made moving around extremely difficult even in just wading boots well except for ken who has the agility of a mountain goat and is more used to these rivers than i am and was at the holes long before me .</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but thats part of the adventure finding and experiencing new places and new techniques and this day certainly tested me , we actually walked miles up this river jumping in to small fishy looking pools and ken had the first score with a great looking fish teased out from right behind a rock .</div>

so we fished this pool for a bit then headed up river to a spot ken knew there was a few smallies in so after a 10 min hike through the rocks and bankside vegetation i saw what can only be described a rock the size of a large truck just kinda sitting there in the water with a fast run in front of it and a really nice looking bit of slack water behind it .<br />
<br />
i cast a clouser upstream and let it drift down the current until it was slightly downstream from me then stripped it back kens advice was sound as the 7 weight buckled over with my first smallie of the trip. again i cannot stress how much these things fight and they just new stop going for it , absolutely amazing fish. and pound for pound the hardest fighting fish i have encountered .<br />

ken on a rock doing what he does , you can see the type of bank we were faced with and i can tell ya its not the easiest to wet wade in but still great fun as you search around for that next pool or run which is always just up there and then the next and then the next , you know how it goes </div>

i decided while we were at the big boulder to change fly so i stuck on what i call a scrap fly which was bassicly bits of olive and white dna fibre , the thing with me is i never throw anything away when tying pike flies as i know i can use it for smaller perch and smaller predator flies and this was a prime example.</div>

i always love to catch a new species on the fly and on the last trip out here on the last day fishing with ken he caught a fallfish , quite a fiesty fish and great on the fly i really wanted one on the 3wgt at the time but i had run out of time for that year , so i tied on my scrap fly and cast slightly upstream and across the current and let it drift down then pinched it back as it was drifting down and then bang . what followed was a spirited fight with my first fallfish (kinda like a supercharged uk chub) so that was another ticked of my list </div>

<br />
we spent the rest of the day up and down the river dropping into pools and generally having a laugh as we always do with ken shouting back "hey you ok old timer` yea funny bro , and kept hooking into fish despite the heat , we are talking it was up into the 90s by the time the afternoon came but it does make wet wading fun and cooling , by far my favorite way of fishing<br />

when i said it wasnt easy fishing i meant it , hard hard going but when you get to a spot like this it all becomes worth it and you can see why traveling light is the way to go on these trips and to be honest all you ever need for a day can be fitted in a chest bag and slung over your shoulder.<br />

boom another smallie falls to the scrap fly on a wild river far far away. i love fishing with a chest bag , this one is a william Joseph which i bizarrely found on a facebook market place pace from a u.s seller so i mailed him and he agreed it would be cool to send it up to ken and i would pick it up while i was there save a fortune in post and packing to the uk , so thanks again fella this really did the job and suited all, my needs ......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we carried on up the river and well we have to call a point where you know we have to walk all the way back we came and of course a bit of fishing on the way , so ken called it and we headed back, as we walked ken stopped by a long glide and said fancy a swim , well actually i did , the heat was unbearable so in we went and hell it was good .</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so after getting back to the truck we headed back off to kens via the local store to stock up on energy drinks , rosies jerky and doughnuts . and plan the next days adventures </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<b><u>the fly store in the middle of nowhere</u></b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ok so ken told me about this store a few times and i really enjoy visiting and supporting small local, stores and especially in the states as there is far more choice but this was beyond my wildest dreams and just so feckin cool.,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so after breakfast we headed of to rolands place which was literally in the middle of nowhere when we arrived the place was closed but this is the way it is as you can see by his website </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we hung about in the carpark for roland to arrive and i still couldn't really believe what i was seeing so took a little video of the store </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i dream of places like this where you can just walk in sit down and tye flies with the owner and have a chat and purchase a few things i have to say it was a pleasure to meet roland and if you get the chance or your just passing south hero then drop in youll be glad you did and theres even one of my big flies, hanging from, the wall, behind the counter .</div>

although its not been easy sailing , far from it because ive opted to travel from Edinburgh for the cheapest fairs it means i have to fly from edinburgh to chicago and have an 8 hour wait for a flight to montreal then a short hop down to the us border where brother ken is , now this is where the plan slightly comes apart as my flight lands at 11pm and the last bus is at 11:30 pm , now im pretty sure that im not going to be cleared customs and collecting luggage and finding said bus stop in 30 mins so could be a night in the airport unless theres somebody in montreal who wants to earn a few bucks by giving me a lift down to the us border at vermont then please give me a mail <a href="mailto:dlindsay28@googlemail.com" target="_blank">dlindsay28@googlemail.com</a> , otherwise it will be a night in the airport but hey thats how it goes and i dont really mind sure ill be able to get some grub and some coffee , but im hyped for doing this and really cant wait to get other and see ken and his family and other buddys over there .</div>

ok so i needed some crease fly type flies for my trip as i did very well last time i was over there with the smallies on the winooski river and ken has said he is taking me to a couple of new spots doing some wet wading for them , which by the way is my favorite thing ever , such a cool way to fish for them .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

so headed out on a boat trip from st abbs a few weeks ago with a slightly different set up which consisted of my bucktail patterns lowered to the bottom of the north sea and jigged around for cod and pollock , i do these in a wide range of colours and serious amounts of fish are being caught on the east coast with these things but these are not only good for saltwater they are great for fresh water fish as well especially perch they really eat these things with gusto </div>

and you can also fish these on lrf rods as well as fly rods as the epoxy heads give them just enough weight to be cast and jigged off the bottom bellow is a few examples of the patterns , these are made with size 2/0 hooks but they can be made anysize.</div>

i cannot believe i walked into my local angling center and was wandering around when i spotted this , ok so we all like a big flashy fly but jesus christ this feckin awful pigs breakfast costs £10.00 uk yup you heard right 10.00 uk pounds thats like 12 us dollars . fulling mill are you having a laugh that is the most absurd rip off ever, ten quid for a pike fly what planet are you on, and you know the other thing is i saw a really small sea trout fly with a grubby bit of jungle cock on for nearly a fiver , really your taking the piss for such crap quality . these people are really from another planet </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as ive always said shop with a local tier , there are thousands of us out there just check facebook pages for local guys who tie not just pike but there is some talented guys out there for trout , salmon ,saltwater you name it theres a local guy that will supply you for a much fairer price , heres how to do it on facebook or instagram .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1- see a picture of a fly you like </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 - message the guy who posted/ tied it expressing an interest in buying one </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3- do the deal </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4- get a locally tied fly that the person who tied it actually fishes for the species it was made for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5- avoid african made shit that falls apart after a few fish </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even if that person dosnt sell them he will know somebody who does </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-----</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or here is an idea , how about local tackle shops supporting local tiers by stocking there flies </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
whatever you dont buy african made shit at 10 quid a fly </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if your looking for a tyer i can point you in the right direction just message me and ill forward you to somebody either in the uk , europe or the usa who is nor african</div>
