Water height down a few ins on yesterday at 2ft 9ins and clear, overcast for the morning and then serious rain and wind this afternoon. I think we may be flooded tomorrow. 6 fish for the day from the beat, Black strand doing its stuff – a great pool as it ever was. And then […]

Tweed 2020 26th October
Back on Tweed for my first cast/last chance for a salmon this year! Came back to Fairnilee which I haven’t fished since 1992. The beat is in the excellent hands of the new (to me) ghillie Mark Hislop and my goodness has he done good works. A magnificent new rod room in the old sawmill […]
My on-line tackle shop now closed. 18th May 2020
With effect from todays date, I have taken the difficult decision to close my on-line tackle shop.

This has nothing to do with […]

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, […]
