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 […]
Varzuga 2019 shaping up nicely
Two years since I have been to the Varzuga – 2017 we had to cancel due to the river being still frozen and last year I couldn’t go. So it is with growing enthusiasm I see that the Varzuga blog is now running www.varzuga.com and having spoken with Charlie who is going out this Friday […]

2019 Salmon fishing & courses availability
MURTHLY 8th – 13th 2019 – I have now had responses from my Murthly regulars, only to hear that one poor chap’s daughter has decided to get married at that time and he cannot go. Thus I have one rare spare space on the Monday to Wednesday Improvers and one rod remaining on the three […]
Varzuga 2018
Although I am very sadly unable to go this year myself, Charlie has just informed me that 2 rods have come available in my traditional week 18th – 26th May. This is what I think is the best week on what is probably the most productive Atlantic salmon fishing anywhere in the world – and […]
