New Film – Hatch

The new trailer is out for Nick Reygaert’s new film ‘Hatch’. The film hopes to document the world’s most extraordinary insect hatches and the fantastic fly fishing that accompanies them. If the trailer is anything to go by then it’s bound to be epic. Personally, I’m a sucker for those slow-motion takes, especially showing fish feeding…

One For Me, One For Sage…

Word on the street is that Sage is due to launch a new rod series within a couple of months. Dubbed the Sage ONE series, the rods claim to once agian reduce weight and enhance accuracy while offering “… smooth and precise casting with an intentionally forgiving ‘sweet spot’ that complements widely diverse casting styles,” says…

Jazz and Flyfishing

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…

Bow and Arrows

With brown trout season now closed, options are limited to tangle with our tiny trout. There’s a few little specified rainbow waters still open for those willing to brave the cooler conditions, which is what I did with good Cobber, Andy Howell. At this time each year, we like to head to a small creek…
