UHTFC AGM And Fishing Festival 2014

A few months ago I received a phone call from Alan asking me to be the guest speaker at the UHTFC AGM. I happily accepted, feeling honoured that I’d been asked, and began planning my speech. The months flew by and before I knew it I was packing my bags (and laptop) for the trip …

Underberg Fly Fishing, September 2014

Having been far too long since I’d visited the trout bliss of Underberg I decided to put a quick trip together to right the wrongs. Sadly my trusty sidekick (Nick) was unable to join the adventure, so I headed up alone at lunch time on Friday. The plan was to meet up with Neill, Alan …
