When passing one of the world’s renown chalk streams, the Avon a few days back it would have been rude to not stop to take in the natural spectacle of it. Walking its pristine clear waters to cast a fly to a fish, which despite its small size and humble appearance. Is a true indicator of a pristine aquatic environment - the grayling

Couple clips while hooked into a Salmon in Norway this summer 🇳🇴 🎣

The King of Fish - Atlantic Salmon. - A true test of determination & perseverance - 👑 🐟

Montana you’ve been magnificent. Fantastic guide school week learning plenty with @sweetwatertravel excited to see where things can take me!

Nothing beats Spey casting and swinging flies 🎣

Is it a red or orange sky? Gower you’re great

Catch & Release. #barblessfly

Another small salmon from last week in Norway... a huge learning curve the whole trip, exploring rivers that haven’t been fished for salmon in four decades. The fish were present but high temps and bright conditions meant you really had to take a tactical approach to the fishing and adapt your flies, presentation and methods continually to get interest from the fish. Using and catching on methods I’d previously only read about online, in rivers you won’t find anything about online, as some of the last anglers to fish them were pre-internet! #salmonfishing #norway #salmonnorway #flyfishing #salmonflyfishing

Reminiscing a little blast from the past. Bass are still one of my favourite fish to target with the lessons and memories priceless. This is a personal best from a few seasons ago that I’ll never forget. A true fish of a lifetime on the lure. I fished this mark religiously in determined pursuit of a slab. The mark doesn’t even exist anymore and due to shifting sandbanks I can walk to the same spot and not even recognise it....

Salmon fishing is full of ups and downs...lost fish, missed fish, not taking fish and sometimes just no fish! Conditions and odds have been stacked against us in Norway with temperatures soaring up to 36 degrees at the start of the trip. The miles driven, hours spey casting and the rivers and pools explored have been unfathomable! Finally when it comes together it’s all worth it...the more you learn about these fish the more they fascinate you! Not to mention I’m probably one of the first brits to have fished this river since it’s closure for neigh on 40+ years following GS disease. Nature will always recover given the chance!
