Introduction and itinerary for the weekend 11/09/09 - 13/09/09

When we started out fly fishing at the start of the year we had all intentions of writing a blog documenting our scores, successes and and glory. It didn't take long to realise that it would be a complete waste of time as we didn't actually have any successes to write about.

You might think that things have changed and thats why we've decided to start this blog.

What we actually thought is, if we start a blog, documenting what actually happens, then the people who do know what they're doing might feel compelled to put us right.
We figured that seen as we go to some pretty amazing places then we should get some interest from people who can look at the pictures and just imagine the results had they been fishing, so we should get some interest for that reason alone...
Failed missions so far include Ullswater, Haweswater, Loch Awe (twice), Loch Earn, Loch Lochy, Loch Tummel, Stocks, Leighton as well as most nights on the goyt/mersey/tame, amongst others. I don't mean we've blanked every time, sometimes we have the odd success, its just a rarity.

In spite of this, one thing you can bank on, is that when I ring ste and ask the question, his response will always be the same:

'Well aye will I go fishing'










Hopefully this is going to be the weekend that will bring us the results we've looking for since we started fishing, probably for the first time this season everything looks to be on our side, weather conditions look good, water levels should be right, confidence levels are high and new flies have been ordered, all in all this should produce some cracking sport........ But thinking back to Loch Awe 2 weeks ago things never seem to work out like the romanticised idea you have in your head. Isn't it amazing how much better your casting is in your head when you picture how things are gonna go at the weekend? I've got no problem landing a size 22 F-Fly in a gap the size of a 2 pence piece at 22 yards me like.


Our first stop on Friday night is Ullswater, hopefully we'll get there in time for the evening rise, if not, all will not be lost; this is just a pit stop.

The main event will be taking place at Angle Tarn (bottom pic). We found this place through the brilliant angling for something blog online (wheres the updates!?). Beautiful scenery, nice walk and a better than average stamp of trout than the other tarns (hopefully anyway!). We'll be fishing this as hard as we can Saturday evening and Sunday morning, probably about as hard as Duncan Ferguson, and we'll be happy if we get one each!

We'll be finishing off Sunday in the pub with a sore arm and a couple of smokes after a quick blast on Brotherswater. Hopefully we'll be back with a cracking report and some pics for your entertainment, don't hold your breath though.

  7. Crack? Are you kidding me? Trying to insinuate crack use to intise someone to trust you so you can murder them and keep thier soul for a rape doll, You are the most simple minded group of psychopaths Ive ever dealt with. And crack came up this morning in thought provoked by other of your Bush associates. So to all i say, nothing. There are real angels that need my help with breeding and you scumbags have been trying to sterilize me so they can never get healthy. You told the cops that i killed them and now they worke for you? How could i have killed them unless my words were law? That means all the abuses you have commanded against me were done against the BOSS. And my father was inocent but a made man so he never snitched on Divine Etheridge. You are all scum sucking parasites.
