There's an old fisherman's saying that the fish live in only 10% of the water, so anything that can help pinpoint them will maximise your catch time. Everything we do before our first cast is to plan the day and the catch.

Fishing is a continuum

There's never been a season that is the same or repeats those that came before it. Looking back at fishing seasons past is nostalgic and heart-warming, but it is looking forward that puts that adrenaline twitch in our casting arms!

Every new season adds to and extends our experience. There's no limit on how far. Each one finds us new spots to go fishing, with new friendships, new discoveries and new angling horizons within our reach. Each new cast conveys fresh hope for an angler.

In several decades of beating the banks with a fishing stick, my interest in, excitement and anticipation for the next trip has never been higher than today.
