In last month's newsletter I mentioned that I'd fished a tiny little trout fishery, Hondon Trucha near Alicante at New Year with Gary from www.garysmithfishing.com Good fun if you happen to be on holiday, but not a fishery that you would travel miles just to fish. So when Gary was on the phone to me the other week and invited me to fly over again and fish in a competition there, I had to politely decline - I mean travelling all the way to Spain just to fish in a competition in a tiny fishery - that of course would be complete MADNESS......... .........so anyway I came fourth!
Well the weather here was cold and miserable, and Ryan Air were doing flights for under a tenner each way! Plus it's always nice to stay at Gary's Luxury Villa - good food, great accommodation and plenty of beer in the fridge - though just a bit cold at this time of year for a dip in the ample swimming pool. On the way through the baggage lounge at the airport, I grabbed a copy of "Roundtownnews", the local English language newspaper and turned to the fishing column to read the latest reports - and was horrified to find the following: |

Hondon Fly Competition
"Scottish fly fishing master Ron
Sharp is flying in for the event and it will be interesting to see his
methods and techniques. Ron will join myself Peter Hampshire and Steve
Green plus the other regulars to battle it out for honours. If you wish
to come along and have a look Jan Keijsers will, as always, welcome you.
The event takes place between two and six on the Saturday afternoon."

It was a pleasant surprise when I got
back, to find that Kingfisher had pulled out all the stops, and managed
to get the first delivery of the new patterns to me several weeks early.
The quality of materials, hooks and tying is superb and I think they are
really going to set new standards. So I've just added to the site......... |

The unexpected early arrival of the
Kingfisher patterns, means that I still have some stock of the existing
patterns that they are replacing - e.g Diawl Bachs, Snatchers, Hothead
(plastic) Dancers So I've put these
on a clearance page at 50% off and this can only be reached by clicking
HERE
- so newsletter subscribers can have first go at them. Next week
if there's any left I'll put the page on the main site. |
