Apologies if this sounds like I’m pushing hard but there is just one place left to fill on my Wye Valley courses this coming summer and it would be nice to tidy up the loose ends. The first week is already a complete sell-out with a waiting list should anyone drop out. The [...]

This may be a rushed blog – depends how I feel as it progresses but now the river season’s open my opportunities to sit down and write are being restricted for all the right reasons - and the desire to sit here bashing away at a keyboard when I could be fishing rapidly diminishes. I’ll do [...]

You’ve probably seen on the front page of the site that I’m running two angling courses this summer on the [...]
