Right now is a great time to buy some fly tying gear at a fantastic price. We currently have marabou skins with soft hackle. Was $50 now $30. As well as hooks that are dramatically reduced in price from $25 to just $6 they are kamasan B983, B982 and B980 all these hooks have an extra wide gape which allows for a better lookup rate. These flies pictured are tied with both of these products and you can find them in the links below.

And then 8 minutes after I caught my last fish for the season Peter Hayes did too.

The last day of the brown trout season always has a little, and perhaps silly, challenge. I try and catch a fish on a dry fly on my last cast. That's why my watch is in the shot. Where and what time was it?

Still catching them at Four Springs. A few days to go.
