Sometimes you can be just lucky, sometimes the stars align, sometimes it all works out… and you catch the fish of a lifetime without warning! Like this grayling, which cracked my PB for the second time this year! I did not have time to go […]
Yesterday I just wanted to try a few nymphs I had tied “freestyle” during the afternoon… …so I went to the water to make a couple of casts and fish for two hours or so… october is a wonderful month, the forest shines in the […]
