Fly fishing, fly tying and sometimes some other stuff (about fishing)

Thanks to @DogsTrust #Kenilworth we welcomed this big hunk of cuddles into our life last week 🥰
Very pleased to say he's settled into sofa life perfectly 😄

We stand with @PAN_UK and call for a ban on the use of pesticides ☠️ in urban areas ✊ An Early Day Motion has been tabled in support of this. We need you 🫵 to contact your MP and make sure they sign it.

Severn Trent Water (and 5 other water companies) have finally released a live sewage spill map.

It’s not very easy to find and hasn’t received much of a launch!

But here it is. https://t.co/qHifYVmPzV

Will be fascinated to see what happens when we get heavy rain.

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

It’s quite difficult to find locations that aren’t actually discharging untreated sewage into Cotswold rivers at the moment.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"Sewage pumped into Cotswold river for more than 1,000 hours."

Currently standing at 1075 hours 38 mins.

Fairford, is it the most polluting in the country or do you know better?

Staying in tonight & don’t fancy Hootenanny? If you press play on the #GoneFishing Hogmanay special at precisely 23:02:13 (11.02pm & 13 seconds) Ted will start the fireworks on the stroke of midnight & launch 2024. Happy new year! 🎆🎇🎉🥂

Lovely day #flyfishing on a small stream in the Cotswolds. Plenty of fly life. Although the risers were few and occasional, all that came to the net were on dries. Some trout had switched onto the small mayfly hatch 😀

Water resources - your regular update.

Short 🧵

April was an unusual month, in that rainfall across England was only a bit above normal.

Only tells half the story though!

[John MacRose @johnmacrose]

Bit of colour in the river, but it turned into a lovely afternoon.
Managed to find a few #FlyFishing #WildBrownTrout
Can you spot the #EasterEgg in the photo?! [Alt text for clue]😊

"She opened up the sport of fly fishing to women." - read our profile of Joan Wulff, one of the people behind the explosive growth of women in fly fishing today: https://t.co/LHbcdjmwZJ

After a very rusty start to my #FlyFishing trout season on the river, I finally managed to stay hooked to this beautiful little wild brown trout that took a hawthorn dry 😊

A simple message. Stop the sewage.

New website. New brand. New Film. We are here to stay.

Go to https://t.co/GwHB1Bgsmv to find out more about our campaign and what we are doing to end all sewage discharges into Windermere Lake.

Last session of the season on a very clear chalkstream #FlyFishing for #Pike. A slackline bite meant I missed the best of the day 🤷
But had a few other takers that were in great condition 🙂

[John MacRose @johnmacrose]

... 2/2 then last cast, I *finally* caught a Thames double 😄

What a day #FlyFishing from my inflatable on the Thames yesterday. This 42cm perch had made my day in the morning... 1/2

[John MacRose @johnmacrose]

Still so much to learn #flyfishing from my inflatable, especially as the river was still pushing through and a gusty wind. But managed to find one! 😊
