In my last blog written just a few days ago as we turned the clocks forward,I was trying desperately to drum up enthusiasm for thoughts of long summer days. Well, as I type this it is snowing outside and if I look out of the window across to Corndon Hill I can see it is snow covered [...]
Just added a short amusing piece from Dean Aston a.k.a. Deano.
Deano catches some very nice fish on the Middle Severn but his real claim to fame is his attire !
I challenged him to send me a photo and explanation and he did.
Not sure I’m convinced and I definitely won’t be mothballing my Real Tree!!
I have [...]
THE MAN IN PINK by Dean Aston
Hi Steve, this is me with a Middle Severn barbel in my pink top, its even more pink now after further washes!
Story is I bought a red top as a red back ground, it makes a nice photo, trouble is, the more times I wash it the pinker it gets!
I get a bit of [...]
I know Bob mentioned this in his most recent blog but it can’t be repeated enough in my book so here’s another reminder to make sure you don’t forget to renew your license. Your old one has just run out on March 31st.

Phil Hackett is someone I have known for many years going way back to the days of the National Association of Specialist Anglers [...]

My good friends Dave and Mal Brown have just returned from Mexico and have sent me a short piece about their fishing exploits in that exotic part of the world.
It’s in the Articles section right now.
I have good and bad memories when recalling my first tussle with a barracuda. It was back in the early [...]
Now don’t get carried away by the title, I’m a respectable sort of fellow I’ll have you know and I’m talking fishing adventures. Behave yourselves!
You can get excited though because the fishing was simply awesome, let me take you to the other side of the world and I’ll explain.
It’s the last week in January, here [...]
I’ve just uploaded a great piece from my good pal, John Found.
John is a bit of a globetrotter these days experiencing different fishing adventures in all manner of exotic locations.
I’ve been lucky enough to spend time abroad with John on the Fraser River in British Columbia where we were among the first to enjoy the [...]
