A tough but rewarding session on the pike today. They can be tricky when they’re hugging the bottom, but it’s always satisfying when you manage to connect.

I used a super short leader to keep the fly near the bottom, which seemed to do the trick. Are fish line-shy?

A massive thank you to The Game Fair for the invite to demonstrate at Ragley Hall last weekend. What a fabulous event…..In between demonstrating and working on the Mackenzie stand I took a walk around to see what was on offer and also catch up with friends I haven’t seen in a while…… Hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed taking a look around…….A special mention to the doughnut van in the fishing village who kept me fueled throughout the weekend 😂👏👏👏

Fly Fishing In Mexico - Ascension Bay was great, I fished with a company called Pesca Maya Fly Fishing Company who was excellent. You can stay at their lodge or they will pick you up and drop you off at your hotel FOC which is a bonus. The south of the bay is much better than the north lagoons as there are far more fish in that vicinity. Although the flats wading in the north is very good. The fish do seem spooky in the north, this could possibly be caused by fishing pressure as there is a lot of fishing going on in that area. This is a great place to fish though and the weather is much better than the UK. I had plenty of fish to the boat with these guides, Bone Fish, Jacks, Blue Runners, Red Snappers etc but very few were over two pounds in weight.

Coastal fishing was great on calm days as you could sight fish, but when the wind got up it was chuck and chance as the surf disturbed the sand and made it impossible to sight fish. I still caught fish in these tricky conditions though, mainly from the shallow surf. I caught a lot of Bone fish, Skip Jacks and small Permit.

I don’t think I have ever been in a trickier situation trying to land a Salmon.
I must say Sverrir Runnarsson did a first class job on the net and also thanks to David Sands for filming it all……….. Thanks guys…….

I seized the opportunity to pursue pike using the Mackenzie Saltwater/Predator prototype rods I’ve been testing. My fishing partner, Mabel, shares my enthusiasm for pike fishing, although I suspect she enjoys the walks more than the fishing. Together, we cover vast distances in pursuit of these apex predators. I’d like to thank the pike, as they were remarkably cooperative, and the conditions were perfect—overcast skies, ideal barometric pressure, and mild weather. I have a genuine affection for these rods; they possess everything you need in saltwater/predator rods. The action is mid to tip with rapid rod tip recovery, resulting in high line speed that handles big flies easily. They offer enough flex to play large fish and are adorned with the finest fittings and cork. I’m hopeful that these rods will hit the market soon. Watch this space; they’ll be worth the wait.
