The Source of Adventures The ‘Mayor’ of Smithers greeted me like a long lost friend. He had been on the Kispiox for the day with friends. They had left early (it is about a 2-hour drive from his house) and were on the water almost at dawn. Consequently they were back in reasonable time. I had got in from Seattle …
This video was made during the first week of the 2016 season, 28th May to 4th June. The river was in perfect condition and guests enjoyed great floating line and skated fly fishing. Having warmed up from the long winter and come in to condition, the river fishes at its very best which is why the first week, sometimes considered …
This was my third year visiting these now famous pieces of water. You can read about my first time here and my second time here with an in-depth explanation of the lake, the fish and how it all fits together as well as how this extraordinary fishing phenomenon exists. The purpose of this short blog is to really re-affirm …
Once again I was honoured to be asked to be a judge for the 2016 Fieldsports Photographer of the Year Competition.

They have very quickly established themselves amongst the great, revered fly-fishing …

The first section of this piece explains why this is the case compared to destinations further north. I will then explain what takes place at Los Roques in …
…Oslo, Northern Lights, Snowmobiling, Ice Hotel and the Atlantic Salmon Conference I fished Alta for my twenty-fifth season in July of 2015 and have always wanted to visit in the winter. We have talked about it incessantly round the camp fire but reality meant never getting around to making a definitive plan. When I received the invitation from the Alta …
Los Roques, Venezuela, has always been one of my favourite places. I love the pancakes flats and the way one has a boatman to drop you one end and pick you up the other thus wasting no time; the variety of fishing for bones with baitfish patterns which slam the fly rather that the shrimp pick-up take; the ever-present, characterful …
