Get Out There And Give It A Go! In the last blog I showed it was quite possible to catch fish in these arctic conditions providing you are determined enough. Either that or you’re completely bonkers! But seriously, you really can go fishing in what appear to be terrible conditions and face one of angling’s toughest [...]

Can it really be Christmas again? Well, considering the local shopping centre has been piping the sounds of Slade, Mud and Greg Lake into the ether for at least two months it must be getting pretty close! Anyway, please allow me to wish all you regular blog visitors a truly memorable Christmas. This months music widget starts atomatically so [...]

Chapter Four Life Through A Lens Oh My Gurd The video cassette had a little boom back in the early nineties, not that they ever sold a lot in their original format. Those who were involved at the very beginning soon realised there were much richer pickings to be had by shooting other subjects. [...]

And so began a writing career that has swept me along on a tidal wave ever since. Without Colin it would never have begun. He found that spark within me and fanned the flames. Previously I just wanted to catch fish, that’s all. I never even dreamed of writing or anything else…

The summer is flying by and apart from a short period at the beginning of last month we’ve seen precious little in the way of sunshine but the damp weather has seen river catches holding up really well.

I haven’t fished a match, as such, for more than a decade but a competition that did grab my attention was the UK Angling Masters Championships. What an event this was and how sad that it didn’t become a permanent fixture in the angling calendar. David Marle launched the concept at his Great Linford [...]

Welcome to the June angling blog. If you’re a new visitor then I hope you enjoy it.

Well, the end is nigh. Another week and it’ll all be over on the rivers for three whole months, unless of course you’re an Angling Times reader because they think that a complete non-newsworthy story and a puffed-up readers poll can change things. According to the story a huge majority ‘of readers polled’ want [...]
