Fishing on a shoestring

Duncan's ‘Fly fishing the world on a shoestring’ has been constructed over several years from notes and recollections of the dozens of fly fishing trips he has undertaken around the world. Duncan a keen photographer and is never on the riverbank without a few cameras. Fly fishing in remote and exotic locations provides a perfect opportunity to capture stunning images. Nature unfolds on the riverbank, at dawn and dusk, when most people sleep, but at this precious time, the bears feed, the ospreys hunt and the otters play and the world wakes up. It’s a perfect place of solitude not just to cast a fly down an undisturbed salmon pool, but to absorb this wonderful spectacle. He has tried to capture some of this with his camera and to describe the experiences in his text.

Fishing anecdotes have been interwoven with geopolitical information, Duncan hopes producing an interesting read over the twenty eight separate chapters. The book has been professionally edited and constructed using 104gsm, premium colour paper, to display the 347 high quality photographs and text over 208 pages.

On The Bank With Andy Findlay: Pellets, Feeder And Pole DVD

We first caught up with the match fishing phenomenon Andy Findlay at the famous Glebe complex in the spring. It goes without saying that he all but emptied it.

But what about the winter? Do his methods still work when the water temperature drops and the fish are less lively? We returned to The Glebe in October when it was much colder. How would he feed it, would he feed, would he catch? Of course he caught, but it was different - minor change here, a subtle change there. He's also developed a new pellet feeder, seen here for the first time.
