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 😉👍

“That’s me done for this season now. Thanks for everything, fly of the season was definitely the SOJ”…

Message from JS, good to know that the SOJ (Shaggy Olive Jingler) has done well.

Cheers 🍻🎣

The Fishing Breaks Grand Prize…

Drawn in November, the winner will receive one of my Wheatley fly boxes filled with a hot dozen patterns for next season and a hand drawn book to accompany them.

Got to be in it to win it!
“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.
