I managed to sneak out to the river this morning and took a couple of carp on a little pink nymph. The fish were very pretty and I took a few photographs which, I hope, will help me to make some watercolour paintings. Both fish were taken around 10 in the morning. Once they had been recorded for posterity the fish were gently returned and swam off strongly. The carp seem to be locally abundant and there were plenty of fish in this stretch but almost nothing in the long stretch of similar water upstream. It is well worth being prepared to walk!

Welcome! My name is Paul Hogan and this blog features my own, sometimes idiosyncratic, take on fly fishing, natural history and all kinds of other stuff. I live in the south of Spain and enjoy fly fishing locally, and occasionally further afield. In this blog, which I will try to update at least weekly, I will report on some of my own adventures and those of friends as far away as New Zealand. I will also feature some some of the articles I have had published in Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Monthly. I hope you enjoy the blog. Thank you for visiting.
