Good Fisherman!



Sea Lice Problem!!



Into another!





The last few weeks have been eventful and tiring to say the least. The particularly busy spell started with the CLA Gamefair where interest in Double Handed Sintrix and Marksman rods was incredible. Matching the line to the specific action of those rods was seen as a huge hit for all who tried them. Both Sintrix and Marksman will be available for Christmas and I know will be the hot product for 2011.
After the CLA it was off to the movies for me, and for all who feel being a porn star would be a great job, let me tell you, after 10 days of Dawn till Dusk, it gets more than a little tiring! Filming the movie, which OK, was more about fishing and casting was a lot of fun though and very typically our fantastic Scottish Rivers produced the goods with a few nice fish caught, one or two on my old Greenheart rod. This was so much fun to fish and I really can’t wait to see the bars of silver being landed on this. Some of the places visited in the film are stunning, truly breathtaking scenery as well as some of the finest fly fishing in Europe.
I have just dropped another very satisfied customer to the airport this morning, his trip to the Spey ending with 9 fish landed including eight caught in 4 days fishing on the Gordon Castle Water, which I have to say, when on song, nothing can touch at this time of the year. Quality hard fighting sea liced fish of – 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17, the reminder of the party also did well with Ann Taylor landing a brace 10 and 12 and her husband Peter with a nice 15lb fish. Apart from losing his line [snapped at the backing] after playing a fish for more than 20 minutes, his two days fishing still produced nice brace of 12 and 15lb for Frenchman, Mr Albert Pujol. This on top of the other fish he landed at Tulchan earlier in the week ensured he went home happy. The final member of this group was Mr Tony Craig, who landed 4 fish in his four days. All in all a very nice four days sport amongst nothing but fresh sea liced fish.
With the exception of a few of the smaller fish, all those above were caught on the “Red Capper” http://www.speyonline.com/salmon_flies.htm which confirms the theory of John Ashley Cooper, “It doesn’t matter what colour the fly is, as long as its black”!!








They dont come better than those.
