Not long now....only a couple of weeks until the start of the trout season. I'm looking forward being able to wander down the fields to the Churnet and to cast a wee dry fly or two at the lovely brownies that race and rise down there.
I'm also looking forward to fishing the lochs of Islay again but will probably have to wait until the end of May before that...then I'll be catching lovely wildies like the ones in the pic above...
I'm a keen angler and whisky enthusiast. I'm lucky enough to have lived and worked on the Isle of Islay in the Scottish Hebrides, angling and dramming paradise! I fish for wild brown trout and sea trout whilst up North, back in Leek in the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands I like to meet up with my pals and fish for wild brown trout, grayling and other river species in the Dane, Dove, Churnet, Manifold and Wye.
