Donegal in October is wet. There is no mistaking this fact. It is also cold, especially in August and September on a fly-bridge, huddled in a wet flotation suit. Days when the sun feels warm are few, and days when there is no water on the fly-bridge (whether salt or fresh) are fewer still. But,…
When I spent my year in New Zealand on a teaching exchange, the area that I lived experienced the worst rainfall ever recorded. We are said to have a wet climate in England, but during 1998 in NZ, I experienced over twelve feet of rain! Astonishingly, I have done the same here in Tasmania with…
The wind off the Indian Ocean was blowing hot and steady, whipping the sweat from my skin too fast for it to have any cooling effect whatsoever against the unremittingly fierce sun. I paused for a while under the shade of a spiny tree to pour water, warm from the bottle, over my head and…

Denmark is in full swing with river, ‘put & take’ and also coastal fishing competitions. With the weather being extremely warm the amount of fish caught has declined from the results of previous years.
A slight dimple appeared on the calm surface of Lake Tahoma. With one false cast, the beaded pheasant tail nymph dropped with a slight plop. I made two one inch pulls then felt a good fish eat the nymph. My answering strip strike connected with a nice brown trout. Success at last I thought, as…
