Sunnier climes….
I’m off tomorrow to go chase salmon in Scotland for a week. It would be cool if we get into some fish and hope weather is a little better than last year though. We lost three days to rain but the fish were really biting when the river got in a fishable state and if reports are to be believed the river is packed with fish right now. I plan on taking my laptop and will try and do a daily fishing report with a few photos as well.
It means HQ will be in Mark’s capable hands as Bob is off to Denver for the tackle show to meet up with Scott, Abel, Nautilus and Clear Creek for starters!. This is probably the world’s largest event and will be where a lot of the companies will unveil new products for the 2009 season. I am sure, no, I hope, he’ll come back with some goodies for us! Most of the movers and shakers from the tackle industry will be there and I know a lot of the big players in the UK market are heading out to take a look too. I am sure the evenings are going to be a quiet affair!!
My trip starts up in a very civilised manner when I meet up with my pal Stuart for a bit of stillwater trout fishing. We started the tradition last year and visited Mike Barrios’ excellent fishery but apparently he is fully booked so we are heading off somewhere new. Stuart is an excellent fly tyer and as I will not be taking trout gear it means I can “borrow” a few of his patterns…please remind me to give them back as the memory isn’t what it used to be!!
I’ll report back Monday!
