As I sit down to write my latest blog we have just had a scorcher of a week across the country and definitely a feeling of summer finally arriving. The high winds and difficult conditions I hope are behind us and the fishing on many of our rivers is doing really pretty well – how nice to be able to say that after recent though times!

As I sit down to write another blog I note that we have started to see some good catches reported across the country which is good news!!

The Tay and Tweed are seeing catches increase week on week with the week just gone giving each river 100+ springers and some big fish at that – excellent news! Dee has had fewer rods on the river, although this is starting to change as catches are starting to come through and again with some cracking fish recorded up and down the river. Continue reading →

The continued, well documented problems at sea only making the current position all the more challenging. Continue reading →

The full policy details can be found here http://www.fishpal.com/insurance/index.asp which will give you access to our site page and the policy document itself.

I have been conscious that there has never been an Insurance Company who was prepared to provide such a policy for anglers.  Continue reading →

Last week I asked everyone to join with me in a collective rain dance and hey hey!!!! We got it!! Well done to you all now lets hope rivers clear, fish run and for the remaining part of our seasons we can enjoy some good runs of salmon to make a difficult season somehow OK!! Continue reading →

As I sit down to write this weeks blog the trout season is now all but done and dusted and a few salmon anglers too are about to hang up their rods for the season and reflect on the season gone by.   Continue reading →

A look back at last weeks catches tells an interesting story. Grilse runs seem non existant, there are few large fish currently being caught but despite everything, there are as ever a few stories of great days out on rivers across the country.
