BOOM

David Siskind - Sunday, July 5, 2026

I’ve been back in LA since the wee hours Monday. I spent time Friday morning at the park - as the fourth approached - “where is everybody?” On holiday apparently.  I took my recently repaired (don’t ask) HT8 out for a drive stringing it up with my WF5F SA Trout. I went to explore power application by experimenting with the maximum end of the scale.

Walking and life

Rickard Gustafsson - Saturday, July 4, 2026

Last week I shared my thoughts about strength and a bit of mobility and flexibility. That can seem a bit daunting. So I will share some ideas about something less daunting.

It is happening

Mika Lappalainen - Friday, July 3, 2026

First sunset in two weeks has come, not that you would notice it without looking calender. This week turned insane as weather changed. No rain really after last Saturday.   So it has been silage making. And reindeer marking. Well it was rain on Saturday afternoon and then forecast said nice weather until Monday evening. So after rain I cut down two fields and Sunday morning one more as it looked dry and nice until Tuesday morning.

Copper Liz

Martyn White - Thursday, July 2, 2026

I thought I’d look at an older pattern this week, one that might be less commonly known nowadays, the Copper Liz.

Scone Game Fair 2026

Tracy&James - Wednesday, July 1, 2026

Tracy and I are up in Scotland right now, Tracy is working and I'm just hanging about, thinking about doing some casting practice but not getting round to it. Actually I can still feel a hint of tennis elbow so I'm reluctant to go out and cause further injury with a 15ft Spey rod. I don't know why it is, but I always think I should practice Spey casting whilst in Scotland, rather than anything single handed. Where we are staying is on the banks of a sea loch, so there are numerous calm, shallow bays where I could wade out and cast. A week or so back I was at Bala lake in North Wales practising with Steve – he pointed out a couple of issues that I need to work on with regards to my single Spey cast, so I know what I'm going to work on when I do get out.
