Not the biggest bluefin trevally, but great fun when you both connect at the same time.
Even at this size, their speed and strength are incredible. Pound for pound, they’re one seriously powerful fish. 🎣

My first ever island trevally! Found around the Maldives lagoons and outer reefs, this species is scientifically known as Ferdauia orthogrammus.

This one was eager to take a shrimp pattern tied for me by the very talented @rickvarley

A great day out on the boat at Blithfield Reservoir! The fishing was tough, but it was a cracking day on the water nonetheless!

Thanks to @jayholloway1 , @bertie55.bs and @Jamiewalsh for the invite. My sides are still sore from laughing! 😂🐟🎣

A big thank you to the editorial team at FFI’s The Loop magazine for publishing my article on Micro Salmon Flies.

It’s a subject I’ve become increasingly passionate about after seeing just how effective these tiny patterns can be for Atlantic salmon.

Go small or go home, you could say! 🎣

My article starts on page 29 of the Summer 2026 edition.

I’ve used the Mackenzie All Seasons Line extensively for my salmon fishing this year, both the Float and Float/Hover/Intermediate bodies with the full range of tips.

I’ve genuinely used every tip in the bag, adapting to different rivers, depths and conditions. It’s shown just how versatile this system is, reaped some great rewards, and it’s a line I’ve become super confident in using. Check them out on the web site. www.mackenzieflyfishing.com

James Bull watched one of my demonstrations at the English Game Fair this year and afterwards asked if he could book in for some casting tuition.

We managed to fit in a couple of lessons before his trip, and the improvement in his casting was fantastic.

Now James is out on the West Rangá in Iceland, putting all that hard work into practice and catching stunning salmon like this one.

Well done, James, your hard work has certainly paid off! 🎣👏

If you’re planning a destination fishing trip, one of the best pieces of advice I can give is to get some tuition from a professional casting instructor before you go.

A little preparation beforehand can make a huge difference when you finally step onto the river and help you make the most of every opportunity.

Prepare. Practise. Then reap the rewards. 🎣
