This was a nice find on the Daiwa France stand – the beautiful, brown and orange Silver Creek 2504H.

Brown Trout Bruiser
Brute of a Brown Trout took offence at my Hart Absolut Minnow as I bounced it back towards me, with the flow. After a little walk around Newbury town centre together, we exchanged pleasantries and she went on her way again.
Apres BLAC Trouting
After the Hungerford BLAC event on Saturday, Newbury angler Mark Taylor kindly offered to show me around some of his local trout waters. I duly obliged.
Old Brown Trout on Alderney
I definitely wasn’t expecting this from the sea angling nirvana of Alderney. As such, probably my favourite fish of our trip.
Best Vending Machine in the World
Certainly one of the coolest things I saw in any of the Japanese tackle shops I visited was this vending machine.
PB Brown Trout
Okay, it’s closed season, but this bycatch Brown Trout was very welcome after a drought (fish not rain!)
Cotswold Predator Classic
Today saw 32 anglers, myself included, fish the inaugural Cotswold Predator Classic at Watermark Fisheries, near Cirencester.
With perhaps the hardest frost of the winter so far and after a week of torrential rain that saw the venue flood, the conditions could have been better. However the wind had finally dropped and it was a nice, sunny day to be outside after all the Christmas festivities.
Meet Masaaki
Great day today in tough conditions. Had the pleasure of meeting up with Masaaki Fukuoka from Japan.
