Small & Scruffy Loop…

Whether it’s grayling in Norway, brown trout on an English chalkstream or brook trout in the USA, the SASL will usually get you a fish or two 😉👍

“No fly life around and I was amongst the trees. Tried a few others but the beetle was the only one. Mostly the fish would flee on the first cast. A few looked at it, one fish followed twice before f’ing off. Then I saw the big one. Had 3 casts at him before he took.”

Thanks DB 🙏

Celebrating the last day of the season…

Wild Fish, Dry Flies and a Great Lunch.

Now it’s back to the vice as these flies don’t tie themselves 😉

Cheers 🍻

On the road again…

I’ve got packing down to a fine art. Everything that’s needed for Nigel Nunn Flies to function fits into this one box.

Not every fly makes it…

Lots of reasons why a fly can end up in the discard box, but if it doesn’t look or feel right then in it goes and start again.

Nothing goes out that I’m not 100% happy with.
