‘tis the season…

Join me and David Burton/Phishtitz as we discuss flies, fly tying, testing, fishing and seasonality. That’s the plan, but we might go a bit off piste.

And there’s a raffle!

First step…

Lao Tzu said “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” so the journey of five thousand flies starts with a single DHE.

Whether it’s grayling in Norway, brown trout on an English chalkstream or brook trout in the USA, the SASL will usually get you a fish or two 😉👍

“No fly life around and I was amongst the trees. Tried a few others but the beetle was the only one. Mostly the fish would flee on the first cast. A few looked at it, one fish followed twice before f’ing off. Then I saw the big one. Had 3 casts at him before he took.”

Thanks DB 🙏
