Hi all. The website is still requiring a tweak or two before it’s running properly again. The paypal seems to be playing up too. Instead of going via the Contact page, It may be better to contact me by emailing to flyfishingsussex@gmail.com or call/text me on 07754567242. Hope to be back on track soon.

No wonder this fish pulled so hard. Check out the tail fin. This rainbow took a red midge on the drop. Smack in the scissors so luckily well hooked. Also Christened my new SKB, Pitsford Pirate fly line. Must admit, so far very impressed with the line which shoots really nicely.
I am definitely not a techie but I love modern materials and tackle. I remember the old beautifully hand crafted split cane rods. Then came glass fibre in it’s many colours. They were our pride and joy but I must admit you cannot ignore the performance and feel of the today’s carbon rods. At a fraction of the weight, even the multi section travel rods have really come on too and make up the majority of my armory. For instance check out the pics from last night’ powerfull Rainbow, testing my Daiwa Lexa, 4 piece, 5 eight to the max.

Just wanted to say many thanks for the great fly fishing experience. I haven’t done fly fishing since I was a teenager and really fell for it again particularly with your patient, calm approach to teaching. Would definitely like to book again to go fishing ‘proper’. Would highly recommend you as a teacher. Kate
Very lucky to experience a hatch of mayfly on the river Test yesterday. The weather was quite cold and windy in the morning so we did not expect it to happen. Then late afternoon the conditioned changed and it started to happen. We quickly set up our tackle from nymphing to dry fly and made the most of the hatch which lasted about 2 hours. Below one of the lovely browns which fell for my mayfly pattern.
Getting involved with four big rainbows tonight. Fishing a green damsel 10 foot down on a 444 Clear Camo fly line. A very stealthy line and casts like a dream. Well done Cortland. By the way checkout the tail on that fish.
Hi Howard,
Just wanted to say thanks for your guidance and patience yesterday,and that Anita and I enjoyed it and are very keen to carry on.Also apologies for running over time,but it fly’s when you’re having fun! I’ll be in touch soon to take things a stage further.
Regards,
Russ.
I did manage to skive off this afternoon and so fished into the evening. I was rewarded with two Browns and two rainbows. I lost count of how many fish I missed? At least a dozen anyway. All on black buzzers again. Fished slow and deep.
And I considered having a lie in?? Pics of 2 cracking fish landed today. Check out the Golden Rainbow Trout.
