Nordic Fly Fishing Tales

I like this clip… Lads, getting all youthy, mouthy and loose and FLY FISHING. This is just a quick sample of course, but still has me dreaming of those colourful Char. Episode 1 and other cool clips can be found on Vimeo. Be sure to check out their website and blog at Frontsidefly.com

Slow Motion…

Check out this amazing slow motion clip from the BBC. From great whites nailing seals, birds fishing and even a sneaky view from outside the green room. If you are a couch potato, quit watching The Karshitians (or whatever they’re called) and get a dose of hunky-dory, reality TV in it’s primest form. Watch it HERE

Simms Headwaters

For years, I bashed through srcub in a manky old fishing vest and shoved as many bits and pieces as I could into it’s orifices. A couple of years ago, I upgraded to a Simms Guide vest, which was rad but still lacked the versatility I needed. For example, if I was heading into the Western Lakes for…

Here, Ryan teams up with a dedicated crew of fly fishermen and scientists to study the movements and habits of Steelhead, on a remote…

Daytime Fails & Evening Tails

A late burst of pleasant weather prompted a brief journey to the Western Lakes for some sight fishing. I sent a text to my old mate Chris, asking nicely for him to drag his late-shift arse out of bed so we could begin. Christo quickly responded with an affirmative “let’s hit it”. Two hours later…

The Source – Iceland

I finally found some time to sit down and watch the third installment of ‘The Source’ series from Gin-Clear Media. Wow! The scenery and environment is nothing short of spectacular. Nick Reygaert has wonderful vision and a creative eye that really captures this unique land perfectly. The dedication and patience in capturing some of the…

The Best Medicine

With yesterday being a public holiday here in Tasmania, I whisked out to the North Esk River with Yappin’ Howell. The plan (..or lack thereof) was to bush-bash down to the small river in a forested section, and cast dry flies to a heap of small brown trout. The plan was going fine, until we…
