Been a while

Well I've not posted on here for a while.   The super hot summer days really curbed my urge to get on the river, and the days I did get out didn't last too long as it was just too hot 37 degrees Celsius in the shade is no fun at all.

Salty Fun

While I wasn't carping I did do a few salt water trips where the breeze helps a bit.  I even managed a Dolphin from the shore in Southern Chiba



Apologies for the moobs, but it was definitely tops off weather that day.

 I caught it on a silicon fat boy like this.


As the weather cooled a bit I did a bit of bass  fishing in the lakes but not on fly so it won't feature here.

Looking Forward


Now that the weather has cooled off and the typhoon season is coming to a close, I'll be spending more time out on the river chasing carp. I still expect a few really good days before the end of the year to round out what has been my most successful season of fly carping yet.

Partridge & Yellow

  The light partridge and yellow really is a deadly North country spider. Despite its simplicity, this fly is a great taker of both trout and grayling and frankly, the partridge and yellow should be in every river angler's box.
