The Drift

Yeah yeah, we haven't been posting.

despite attempts to keep it constant earlier in the year, Work has yet again caught up with me.

So here are just some happy snaps on a little project I've been working on.It's drifting "nymphs" for bream.

Yup you heard me.

Drifting.. as in the whole trout nymphing thing. In the salt.

nothing new. People do so for steelhead. but Hey, it's not often you see a guy at the local estuarine sand flat mending and casting upstream..


had pretty good results too.

This is fly 18

Another issue is now out! LINK

Legends

You know someone has made an impact in our sport when you have a fly named after you or your name becomes synonymous with a fly design pattern. Think "Lefty's Deceiver" and Bob Clouser's "Clouser minnow".

Until recently, the namesake of that other essential saltwater fly- the Crazy Chalie- has stayed pretty much out of the focus of popular fly fishing culture.


This was until the release of the "drift" fly fishing DVD.


Here's to another legend in our sport!

What on earth is this

Was surfing the web looking for fly fishing stuff as usual when I chanced upon the site that specializes in Guiding in Asia. One of the locations was india and the target species was a masheer.

Sadly all the information we could get on this site was the usual "this is a fish of a lifetime" pitch that all guiding operations seem to use.

Does anyone out there know more?
