Despite storm Katie’s best efforts to spoil the fishing for my novices on Tuesday and Wednesday by dirtying the water with the run off from over an inch of rain, we were very successful. The fish were well up in the water feeding on buzzer and some early olives and we managed to get everyone […]

Trout season opens!
We opened the new trout season at the Farm yesterday and what a cracking day. Chris J, ever the early bird, was down at the lakes by 7.30 and even though it was still pretty cold, he connected after about half an hour, landing our first trout of the season. […]
New season approaches!
Nearly there! The new season starts for us at the Farm on Friday with the new syndicate still in its infancy – not too late to join! The water is clearing after the deluge of a week ago and seems set fair for the time being and the fish all went in and away safely. The […]
New Trout Syndicate at the farm.
At Little Saxbys Farm, I have two small lakes set in the stunningly beautiful Wealden countryside where I have traditionally offered a variety of fishing and instruction. The lakes are stocked both with rainbow and brown trout, insect life is prolific and I have an impressive hatch of Mayfly in the Spring which gives some […]

Iceland 2015 report
Iceland has had the coldest winter for many years and certainly I have never seen the mountains and volcanoes covered in so much snow before. Good news for the glaciers which have recovered a lot of lost ice, but not such good news for East Ranga which has been running at barely 4 degrees for […]
Varzuga 23rd to 29th May 2015
Our team of 9 (sadly without John M) arrived at the Sabbachi camp after a trouble free journey to find the river just coming down to a perfect height – the Shark-fin stone on the Heli-Pool just under the surface – but a little warm for my liking at 9 degrees. Fish run through fast when the […]
Varzuga just before we go
Just come off the phone with Charlie who spoke to Christopher this morning. You can get the publicised blog on Roxtons site, but the inside line is 60 fish from Middle yesterday fishing only 7 Rods (?) and 34 fish from Lower fishing 9 Rods with a number more lost. The water is already several […]
