• On coastal waters flyfishing for bass

    ‘I had my existence. I was there.
    Me in my place and the place in me.’

    Seamus Heaney

  • Uncoding ALL LANDSCAPES

    The timeless waves, bright, sifting, broken glass, Came dazzling around, into the rocks, Came glinting, sifting from the Americas. – S.Heaney

  • From the reef to the kelp forest

    I thought the earth
    remembered me, she
    took me back so tenderly, arranging
    her dark skirts, her pockets
    full of lichens and seeds. I slept
    as never before, a stone
    on the riverbed, – M.Oliver

  • ACTIVELY PATIENT

    It don’t do you no nevermind to tell nobody nothing. – T.McGuane

  • TIME INVESTED

    A man is never lost at sea. – E.Hemingway

  • THE LONG REACH OF THE FLY

    The sea is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know. – E.Hemingway

  • With principles of least time

    Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years,
    Ocean of Time, whose waters of deep woe
    Are brackish with the salt of human tears!
    Thou shoreless flood, which in thy ebb and flow
    Claspest the limits of mortality! – PB.Shelley

  • WHERE WHEN

    But that is not the question. What are we doing here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in the immense confusion one thing alone is clear. – S.Beckett

  • From Autumn Transition

    Life and death matters, yes. And the question of how to behave in this world, how to go in the face of everything. Time is short and the water is rising. – R.Carver

  • Through to Summer Threshold

    I know I’m a long way from greatness, but I am beginning to come at it in my own way. I can go through the basic motions pretty well, don’t rely quite as religiously on specific fly patterns as I once did, have worked out ways of compensating for some of my most egregious weaknesses and have come to count heavily on timing because it’s a hell of a lot easier to catch fish when the fish are biting. – J.Grierach

‘And then the one day you findTen years have got behind youNo one told you when to runYou missed the starting gun’ Pink Floyd – Time Ten guided ‘fishing years’ have got behind me already, and sitting here writing this its hard to believe. I’ve seen, experienced, witnessed and learned a lot in those guiding years, most of it probably has very little to do with fish. The experiences have no doubt,… Read More

‘There comes a time in all of our lives when we let ourselves dream about living life on our own terms. When we wrestle with the decision to take a step into traffic, follow our passions and live deliberately ­‐ or simply let another day, and daydream, pass. In the end, it doesn’t matter if we make the decision of our own accord, or life makes it for us. It’s where our… Read More

A little bit of fishing in your day – Jim

Why spend extended time in places where you already know you can catch fish? If you have invested personal time and learning in these locations then you will know their moods, their patterns and the subsequent results – nice one! Do you want to become a better angler than you already are? Then avoid routine and accept the challenge of what that might mean. That routine exists in technique, location, time of… Read More
