In several of the practice sessions for last year’s European Championships in Norway, I spent quite a lot of time observing Iain Barr’s presentation technique. On the boats it was drummed into me time and again just how important presentation at distance was – the difference it made was overwhelming. Iain is an outstanding distance caster, to the extent that he almost looks uncomfortable at short range, and conversely so supreme when reaching for distance.

On a trip out to Milbanke Sound in beautiful British Columbia last autumn, editor Paul Sharman was not the only "frequent flyer" on the plane. His Orvis 7-piece travel rod was also tucked safely away with inshore rockfish the hopeful targets when he had time to break away from shooting a feature for the USA's 'Sport Fishing' magazine.

Our latest Trade Partner here at Fish & Fly is long time supporter . They originally started by introducing UK anglers to the great fly fishing to be had in France but now also provide travel information to other European areas too.
