Scierra Pairs 2020 Final @ Rutland

Scierra Pairs 2020 Final @ Rutland

The popularity of the competition format is very appealing where you get to compete along side your partner for the day. My good friend James Bews had agreed to team up with me this year and we qualified through the lake of Menteith heat after targeting larger fish on competition day. We decided to have 2 days practice on Rutland before the final to try and locate fish and zero in on the best way to target them. Over...

New 2018 Season

New 2018 Season

So winter has finally started to ease its grip and already the systems are showings signs of life. There have been reports of tiny black buzzers hatching all over the country which is an encouraging sign. With the harsh winter I hope it has sterilized the systems and nature is about to explode into life. Reports over the last few seasons suggest mild winters have adversely effected the fly hatches and there doesn't appear to be these huge buzzer hatches.
