A small Icelandic salmon river with fierce fish! I admit, I have procrastinated about writing this piece. In truth it has been three or four years of procrastination! I am not sure of the reason, but I think it is because I am still getting to know, deciphering (!) and trying to understand Deildará and I am still not 100% …

The previously unexplored world of Atlantic salmon on a dead drift dry fly! There is no better time to reflect upon an experience than while sitting by the fire in a genuine log cabin by the river. It has rained these past days and that benefitted us but then it hammered rain all night and the river has finally succumbed …

The airports have been a pleasure. Up to date, clean, bright and not crowded. Check-in has been very easy in all cases. All the major hotel brands …
Finally, the plane arrived at Kendjam and we loaded and left. It was only a 25-minute flight as promised and fun to fly over the jungle that we now knew so well. In an outrageously thoughtless move, because he was late, the pilot dropped us at the far end of the runway with our bags and supplies and left. It …

Ryabaga Camp on the Ponoi is out there, as is my expedition into the Colombian jungle but in terms of time and distance into a remote area this is it. I really did cast to rising fish taking yellow flowers off the surface, there are wolf …
