Fishing its socks off!

Tuesday, 10 December 2024

I had a fun and successful week fishing with David from LA. David landed six Snakehead in the boat, which is an outstanding first visit. He also had a few eat but not set, one miss the fly completely and at least three break off. The spills and thrills of Snakehead fishing! And one Gourami shot!!

Drudgery

Wednesday, 11 December 2024

I haven't picked up a rod to fish or cast for quite a few weeks now, since I injured my knee. The weather has played a contributory role in this too, as it has either been extremely wet or windy leading to the local rivers being high. Knowing that my knee is still healing, the last thing I should do is get into a river that's running fast, as it's highly likely that I'll slip and make the injury worse.

The Worm Turns

Thursday, 12 December 2024

I've been out carping a fair bit recently, largely because the seabassing has been weird and unpredictable. It's been fine, if a bit chilly as temperatures are starting to fall and stay low, at last. But I have been spending a lot more time behind my vice. So I thought I'd look at another fly pattern this week.

Banging on water

Friday, 13 December 2024

I discovered end of 1980's band called zero nine. It is rock band from Finland, in fact from Kuusamo where I live nowadays. I remember that they had few great songs. Last summer I found them again and realized that they have song about fly fishing.

You mighy not heard of them, yet they have played with bands like ACDC, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, ZZTOP, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Prince of darkness (ozzy) etc... So someone have heard them.

Overcoming Casting Pain: Strategies for Recovery and Prevention

Saturday, 14 December 2024

When I was training for the World Championships, I did some stupid things. One session in particular stands out. Casting wasn’t going very well, and instead of calling it a day and coming back another time, I kept pushing. My technique was off, the session became much longer than usual, and I tried to force a good outcome with a ten-foot twelve-weight rod. Not a recipe for success.

After that session, I experienced pain in my forearm. It was located in the meaty part of the forearm, but otherwise, it was hard to pinpoint exactly where the pain was. I had felt some pain or stiffness in this area before after casting, but it usually went away quickly. I could often cast it away by focusing on being relaxed while doing some distance casts. Sometimes, the discomfort came from being too tense in my grip during casting. But this time, the pain was more stubborn and on a higher level.

Ronan's Report

Mad Weather, Rough Tracks and Big Trout!

What a month October was. After a dry winter, the rain came with a vengeance in September. By October most rivers were too full and dirty to fish. My policy is to never cancel because there’s always somewhere to fish regardless of past or present weather – and there is! But I can tell you, […]
