I recently had the pleasure of fishing with fellow Orvis Endorsed Guide Justin Anwyl for his species of choice, sea bass. Justin spends more than 300 days a year taking clients out after bass, and on his days off is frequently found flicking fluff for them himself.

Occasionally a plan comes together, and I pack the right equipment to make it happen. The estate we have been shooting grouse over pointers on happens to have the River Spey running right through it. This means three things: the potential for brownies, salmon, and fabulous whiskey.

Orvis has become synonymous with flyfishing, a company passion evident in everything they produce from rods to luggage to clothing. That commitment to the sport extends to training their retail staff.

When men are bored, we invent a new sport. When fishermen are bored, we invent new ways to catch familiar fish, or new fish to catch with familiar methods. And so began the quest to catch a barbel on the fly.

According to Ratty, there is nothing more fun than messing about in boats. Well, he was nearly right. Add a fly rod, some bass, and an early morning start and it achieves perfection.

The cool, clear waters of the Austrian rivers are fed by snow melt and springs, ideal for the salmonids they contain in diversity.

For those of you who are regular readers of my ramblings, you may remember my mate Jon, who responded to my lack of success on the muntjac front (an ongoing sore point) with news of medal-standard success, and photos of Chinese water deer. Well, he’s been at it again.

Start eating your carrots: some of the best fishing to be had in the summer months takes place after dark. Sea trout, the peripatetic siblings of the brown trout, return to the streams of their birth to spawn in the summer months.
