I started fishing when I was about 6 with my uncle George who was a great (covert) extractor of Salmon from the River Tay, he never took any more than the family needed and tended only to remove fish from stretches of the river owned by the English.
I started tying flies a few years later to fish for trout on a wee river that runs through St Andrews and it was there I started to appreciate the delight of the upstream dry fly.
I am now very lucky to live now in Hampshire in Southern England and if we ever get a summer this year I will be out on the local lakes and chalkstreams trying once again to get them to rise. I am a member of out local Flydressers Guild and help out with a bit of the instruction. I guide on local rivers
when I get a chance to and when I can get back up to Scotland for the silver tourists.
My daughter lives in Vancouver, Washington State so when we visit I try to get away and get few a days on the Fall or Silver Creek. I floated a couple of the Cascade Lakes last summer and had a great time thanks mainly to the local fly fishers who made me most welcome with tips and tales. Got my first steelhead on the Deschutes also last year, mainly due to an excellent guide who put me right on top of the fish.
