Double Haul History
Monday, 3 October 2022
Over the years, I have written several Front Pages that detailed the series of interviews I did for RodMaker Magazine. Recently I was going through some old reference material that was sent to me by Press Powell of Powell Fly Rods that I thought may be of interest to all of you.
Getting ready for the Big Wet
Tuesday, 4 October 2022
I have had three seasons for most of my adult life. Spring, Summer and Autumn and then back to Spring, when I change hemisphere. Here in the Malaysian tropics I also think of three seasons: Wet (October to mid-Jan), Dry (mid-Jan to end of April) and “Summer” (May to October). This last one provides an intense thunderstorm every three of four days. These past years, no doubt a result of climate change, has seen the timing and intensity become less predictable.
Further Thoughts
Wednesday, 5 October 2022
Been uber busy with house and getting settled, but things should quiet down after falling some dead trees tomorrow, and bedroom furniture arriving! Woo how! Still on subfloor, but at least we can get clothes out of boxes. Then have to move the rounds from the felled trees, split and stack. The fun never ceases. Have stuff to write, but little time this last week. Could you reprint a previous FP you’ve written? A few months back you wrote one about coaching. I wanted to read it but life got in the way. I’d love to read it now and any other thoughts you’ve had about it.

The Right Way To Do It
Thursday, 6 October 2022
Recently I decided to start tying classic salmon flies again, but before I do I'm having to track down and buy materials.
Autumn update
Friday, 30 September 2022
Last day of September, season is really coming to its end. If lucky there could be one or two days with good fishing weather.
How far is too far?
Saturday, 1 October 2022
Not when is comes to casting, in which case the answer is simple. If you cast far past the fish, it’s too far. If you line fish, it’s too far. No, how far do you need to go, when it comes to fly tying and flies. How many flies do you really need, how many insect stages and life cycles do you need represented, how detailed do the imitations need to be.
Last BFCC Event of 2022
Sunday, 2 October 2022
Well that’s it for another BFCC casting season, the final event was yesterday in Brentwood, Essex. James had already won the yearly championship prior to the day but was looking to make it a clean sweep of event wins for the year, however the competition on the day was fierce and the standard of competitive casting was fantastic with four different winners of the individual disciplines.
