Grubs Up - À la carte waterside dining
I hope you're waters have been topped up with all the rain we've seen over the last few days - typical of a Bank Holiday weekend! I want to take you back - just a few weeks - to the baking hot temperatures we experienced in July. When the grass was brown and the rivers had hardly seen any water in months and the majority of Stillwaters were closed (due to the water temperature) - the fishing outlook was pretty bleak! Just as I was tucking into my ice-cream (trying to keep cool), a parcel arrived from France. It was packed full of 'grub' style patterns - just what you need when there's no water to be seen anywhere! It was from good friend and French fly designer, Stan (of Nymphèvolution fame) - all tied to his usual exacting standards and that little bit different.
