One Fishy Couple

Fly Fishing Couples Proposal

Operating fly fishing lodges around the world, we’d go out on a limb to say we’ve seen our share of gear from time to time. However, this was one of the fishiest things we’ve seen at our lodges for some time, and certainly a first for us. Now that’s a reel proposal.. Sorry that was…

Spey Fishing – The ‘Engaged Fly’

George Cook with Trout

Ever wondered whether your fly is swinging at the right depth, at the right speed, or even in the right water for the quarry at hand? We receive comments all the time about how or where the fly should be traveling when swinging for anadramous species, and for good reason..
