THIS IS OUR
EXTENDED CAST
These days the only constant is change. We never cease to be amazed at the ingenuity of the modern fly fishing community. New species to target, new flies to tempt them, new hook designs to keep them on the line and of course new ways to get the fly to the fish. How do we keep apace with it all? We extend our cast.
By working with innovative fishermen and the best guides we stay in touch. We're assembling a really strong team across trout, spey and salt disciplines. But don't expect to find many of our guys working the show circuit - they’re too busy fishing.
