  • First time out this year on the Frome, not a huge amount doing but very pretty. Missed a few takes, and the finally found a rising fish. Took 10 fly changes to figure out what they were eating. Turns out big black caddis or nothing, but bit of a lunker!

  • That's one beautiful brownie!

    Our bit of the Darent is at a height and pace that I haven't seen in the nearly 40 years I have been fishing it, except in chocolate flood. It looks like the chalkstream it actually is.

    Meanwhile the breamfest continues, every bream in this picture is over 8lbs, 2 doubles, 4 more caught after I had the picture taken because my net was overcrowded! Probably about 150lb of bream and tench, bloody ridiculous!

  • Utter slimefest! Don’t do any fishing with keepnets, do the fish recover well after and being kept out the water?

    Really pleased with it, and it’s a really lovely urban water. Perfect wild fish and relatively clean water despite 1 kilotonne of traffic going over your head every minute
