Wandering Angler: 52
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2008/08/52.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Friday, 1 August 2008. 3 years ago at Christmas I was given a fishing journal by a relative who knows little about the pastime. I was so touched that I was literally speechless. (A very different reaction from the "oh hey.what do you know.that's great" reaction when I open another. World's greatest angler' towel or socks with coarse fishermen on them). I can easily recall the days for which I have recorded something ou...

Wandering Angler: July 2008
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Saturday, 12 July 2008. What kind of mental images come to mind when you think about fishing? Trout Haven' - a pay-per-fish lake in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado: You hook into a good rainbow and you are seriously worried that it will pull you in. You are 6 years old. Trout Haven - 6 years on from the first experience: You are fishing a yellow eagle claw fly rod with a size 10 Adams on a level leader. Within 30 mi...

Wandering Angler: January 2009
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Saturday, 24 January 2009. Fishing by the Numbers. Hello out there. This blog is indeed still alive, as am I. I haven't been fishing as much lately due to the arrival of a new bundle of joy and starting my new job. All of these factors make it more difficult to write about fishing. However, I thought I might take the time to share this letter that I sent off to Fly Fishing and Tying Journal. A little background first:.

Wandering Angler: June 2008
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Monday, 30 June 2008. This past week I was in Wales, visiting family and generally trying to do as much fishing as I could whilst staying under the radar. Can' may be different to your. You know these things, and. The conditions are right, and. You can fish a half-decent drift, then you're probably gonna hook up with a few fish. Unfortunately, there are very few spots I know like this. Maybe that's not such a bad t...

Wandering Angler: Goodbye little Fenland river
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2008/10/goodbye-little-fenland-river.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Sunday, 26 October 2008. Goodbye little Fenland river. I can't say that I shall miss much about Norwich. The city and people are nice enough, but if you don't have an extended family living here (most people seem to), it feels very isolated. I will,. However, miss the wild Fenlands very much, and especially this little chalkstream that flows through it. Adapted from: Northern Lights. I owe a lot to this river in terms ...

Wandering Angler: May 2010
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Sunday, 16 May 2010. One year on (nearly) and where am I? Well, this whole blog malarkey turned out to be a challenge to maintain. One post in a year is especially lame. I'd call that less maintenance and more dereliction. I've got some new ideas for posts that I'll write up when I can. The big trip to Montana in 2011 is still on the cards.maybe. My priorities are all messed up at the moment. In September I had my firs...

Wandering Angler: September 2008
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Sunday, 7 September 2008. It has been a bit longer than I planned since my last post. I guess there are good reasons for that. I've spent some time in S Wales getting reacquainted with the nuances of fishing freestone rivers. The CTS blank is superb. A nice smooth action with a lot of power on hand when you need it. An almost perfect balance of finesse and zing. You've got to get the timing right to get the...Probably ...

A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Monday, 13 July 2009. I'm still here.watch this space. I am going to keep this blog alive. I hereby renew my commitment to it. I'm planning a big 4 week trip to Montana to hit several rivers in summer 2011. That sounds like a long way away! But then I do indeed find (as did Roger Waters) that 'every year is getting shorter.' In some ways, there isn't enough time to plan for an opportunity like this. So, watch this space.

Wandering Angler: August 2008
http://wanderingangler.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A blog of events and thoughts from one angler's journey towards a life in fly fishing. Friday, 15 August 2008. Sometimes fly fishing offers us those golden moments of second (and even third) opportunity where everything works out perfectly.in the end at least. This is different from the last cast. Phenomenon. There are more opportunities for second or third chances in an average fishing day, whereas a last cast. An angler on the river bank, but they are incredibly sensitive to hearing/ feeling. 3 years a...
