Tony Mair's ridiculous mission (his words, not ours) to catch a trout from every river in the UK has continued throughout 2012. You may think he's mad, we think he's an inspiration to angler's everywhere! Tony contacted us after the season closed on 30th September with some brief thoughts on the mission so far. Check out his website ... it's well worth a read. My season has ended, as it should (for a Northern Hemisphere Troutman) on September 30th. The…

I like fishing for brown trout, probably because of the varied sporting opportunities they offer. Being based in Devon I am lucky to fish and guide on some great…
If you are out there fishing for rainbow or brown trout you are fishing for the largest trout you can find. If this is the case then perhaps you should try using a larger fly for your fly fishing expeditions. The larger the trout the more likely it is to want to consume larger meals. Large trout like to sit in deep slow water and tend to not use very much of their energy. This allows them to be opportunistic…
