Hi folks,

I am planning a trip to Loynton in the near future. I have never fished it before. My usual Stillwater is Ellerdine.

Has anyone got any tips/advice for Loynton?

Any comments much appreciated.

Thanks

The season will soon be over and I will have the river to myself for six months, this is when the hard work starts raking redds, catching up brood stock, stripping fish, inqubatIng eggs, habitat management, improving access and may be just may a few days grayling fishing if I am lucky. I would not do any other job it's the best, really its not a job being a riverkeeper, it's a way of life.

A way of life which is changing fast, especially up here in God's country (North Yorkshire)....

After deciding that I would go fishing, I couldnt make my mind up to either go carp on a new lake near by, or back to Jacklands and get some more casting practicing.
Going through my carp gear and trying to narrow it down from a car load to at least half a car of tackle, I made up my mind to go fly fishing.
The weather was on the clear and hot side but for me it was perfect.
I walked passed another old boy and had a quick chat with him for local advice, he suggested a small...

First real day of fly fishing and trying to get my casting right. My local lake closes on Mondays, but I didnt know this until I got there, luckily they let me stay and so I could put my casting to the test without being watched by others
I spent the best part of the day just casting and not really hoping to catch anything.
I came away pleased with my practice session, without a single take or bite, only catching the grass behind me a few times

And I won't tell you no lies
Don't ask no stupid questions
And I won't send you away,
But if you want to talk fishin'
Well I guess that'll be okay".

The magnificent seven rode again. The Fluff Club fished here only three episodes ago, today's weather...
