Himalayan Golden Mahseer 2013 Adventure!!

Hello Float Anglers

I have just returned from 3 weeks fishing in Northern India! The Himalayan Golden Mahseer we caught were nothing short of breathtaking! The rivers run clear and much of the fishing was done with lures but we also fished the fly, fixed leads and most importantly with floats!!

I advise anyone to go and give it a try, its a lot of traveling and can be tough fishing but its a great adventure!

I travelled with "The Himalayan Outback" who were extremely professional, the guides were very very knowledgable and always put us in front of fish! (all you have to do is put a hook in one!! How hard can it be!!

Angling Times Feature

Keen eyed angling times readers will have found it hard to miss my recent feature in last weeks issue!! With one of my floats on the cover and the centre spread dedicated to me and my floats to say i was overwhelmed with the coverage would be an understatement! Deputy editor Kevin Wilmot came over accompanied by a photographer, we chatted floats, float making and had a very pleasant afternoon! I have added a pic of the competition prize which was flagged on the cover! Its a pike bob inlaid with Jay feathers and a greenheart stem!! Lovely!!

 Ivory Tip Avons

For years i have been on the look-out for some ivory tipped floats but it seems they are so rare its unlikely i will ever find any. After a brief chat to a tackle collector friend i was presented some victorian Ivory crochet hooks and the suggestion that i should make my own!! After a bit of cleaning and turning down on the lathe they were ready to fit and the results are nothing short of breathtaking!
