Hello this is Kelly, Tony's son. Tony passed away in Nov 2022 and was fortunate enough to remain at home during his short battle with cancer. We have set up a just giving page to raise money for the Weldmar charity without the help and support of which we wouldn't have been able to fulfil his wish.

This song from the 60s seems very appropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svPDzNO6GQk

From The Fugs 1969 L.P. "it crawled into my hand, honest"

Walk along the upper frome and Hook today lots of w**d and not to many problems. Frost made the walking hard but not as muddy as it might have been 😎

Happy New year everyone

Nice fish at 8 45 pm

20/05/2021

By way of contrast today was cold, every windy and the Dun lived up to its reputation re water colour. The few mayfly that hatched amongst the flurries of olives were largely ignored. 7 fish today all to size 12 wolfs or Adams. 2 rainbows! and 5 Brown's.

After the clients had left l went up on to the Itchen navigation to try and find a big wild or old fish and this monster just a tad sort of 27inches grabbed my French partridge mayfly. Sorry for the sh*tte photography but no way l wanted him to die for a good pic. Estimated weight between 7 and 8 pounds.

Mayfly. In the rain
On the Itchen. Today

Couple of hours on the river today. How things have changed in the last few days

12/05/2021

Sophies day on the Frome, great mixed showing of olives and Grannom between showers

11/05/2021

No show today so shared a couple of hours on the river with Ian 3 or 4 lovely little fish a piece and this surprise Sea trout. Loads of LDOs and a few mayfly. Hawthorns in the air but nowhere near the river.

Saw my first mayfly of 2021 today on the Dever

27/04/2021

Roger came down to have his WTT auction day yesterday on the Piddle . Unfortunatly the cold dry NEast wind persisted and the promised Grannom hatch was small and rather sparse. Fortunately there were several supliments of LDOs throughout the day and the river and surrounding were as pretty as a picture.

Freddies 1st and soon after his second, on the lakes to day

01/04/2021

Frome at West Holme looking for a Salmon with Richard and Brian. Result 1 nice trout, 1 grayling and a Salmon parr all fell to a Red Francis and a couple of surprise mullet showed a passing interest! Lovely day but pretty windy out on the flood plain. Not much fly life that far down river as yet

31/03/2021

Morning cutting back dropwort & hemlock for tomorrow. Piddle looking at its best LDO's in the morning and predictably the Grannom appeared for lunchtime. Few rising fish in the riffles.

29/03/2021

Trashing and burning off brambles not on my list of favorite spring jobs

29/03/2021

Piddle looking lovely and with the sun have come some extremely LDOs and a flutter of Grammon. Fish don't seem to have noticed yet tho

Watch the wading during winter grayling and spring trout outings

Liebe Forellenfreunde, der Frühling macht sich bemerkbar. Vielerorts darf bereits wieder auf Forellen gefischt werden – andernorts schon bald. Wathosen oder -stiefel kommen dabei gerne zum Einsatz. Es ist jedoch ratsam, gerade im Frühjahr beim Waten besonders vorsichtig zu sein (kiesige Stellen grosszügig umgehen), oder nach Möglichkeit sogar freiwillig darauf zu verzichten. In den Fliessgewässern befinden sich derzeit nämlich zumeist noch ungeschlüpfte Eier oder frisch geschlüpfte Forellenlarven im lockeren Kies. © Fotos: M.Roggo/N.Sperlich

One day for 1 rod on a River Piddle beat. Wild trout and lightly stocked, this is a beautiful Dorset chalkstream. The rivers are lightly keepered and offer some. . .

We need to price out pollution

16/02/2021

Very scruffy little Grannom/Ffly, getting twitchy now

09/02/2021

A very memorable night with Ian and Marc mostly for my big Sea Trout but also for Ians cracked sump and an AA trip home.

Winter grayling watch out! I have received from secret santa the perfect winter wear

05/12/2020

Despite ever-changing weather. a nasty NW wind and falling temperatures Phil Ratcliffe managed to winkle out this bruiser. A settle period of weather should make it easier to find more but its been anything but easy for the last few weeks.

28/11/2020

Had a go on a nice bit of the Allen with Ian Popple Water was high and the temperature had dropped like a stone but we gave it a shot. Everything except the fish showed up for the party. Nice bit of water though and available from Fishing Breaks.
