I like that it is. It allows me to ease into my work after a long winter. Come November I&#8217;m pretty much fully booked. It also means I can fish myself during what is arguably the best month of the year. This year myself, Wesley and Brayden went south to explore two new rivers. One was a dud (with potential) and the other was great. I opened my season with a 7.5lber and we encountered other big fish too. One might even have been that elusive 10lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also took my boat to the highcountry during opening week. It was windy going out. Too windy really, but I just wanted to get to a sheltered island. We had a great hour of fishing as the wind dropped but then it changed direction and roared from the south. Too windy to fish and freezing cold as it blasted horizontal snow across the island. I went for a walk to get phone coverage from a high rock to let the folks back home know that we might have to stay the night. It was too wild to cross. This got some welcome heat back into my feet. While I was out I went for a walk to scope a route back to safety. There was shelter on the north side of the island but all the other water had huge, worrying waves. The wind was completely insane reaching 150kph. luckily we had the shelter of the cabin. With the waves slapping on the side of the boat I thought it would be a good idea to move her farther into the shelter of the bay. As we were moving the boat the wind dropped a bit so we all agreed it was an opportunity to get back. We went for it and made it safely across without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was back there again with Mark Adamson for an overnighter. I was hoping for a calm evening and following morning for buzzer fishing, but it didn&#8217;t happen. The cold southerly wind blew all through the night.. We had great shelter behind a rock on Camp Island. The fire was essential because it was flippin&#8217; cold. Nice wine, good steak, a warm fire and good company. Life was good! The boat was lovely to sleep in. The wind continued to blow in the morning so still no buzzer fishing! The bugger fishing was good in the wind. I generally don&#8217;t bother trying to set up 10 sec timer &#8220;grip &amp; grins&#8221; anymore. Sometimes I just take a David Lambroughton style trout portrait but they frequently look shite so I don&#8217;t use them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a pleasure to meet and guide Joe Libeu and his partner, Cathy. Both great casters and anglers who have contributed lots to fly fishing and casting in the US. For me it was great to spend time with people who&#8217;ve invested so much into fly fishing and truly understand the sport. We didn&#8217;t have it easy but sometimes fishing is hard! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a link to my flies available from Fulling Mill please <a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fullingmill.co.uk\/s.nl?search=ronan\">click here<\/a>.
