Spring is a wonderful time of year. You’ve somehow managed to get through a gruelling long- and miserably cold and dark winter, the days are slowly but surely getting longer and warmer, and the fishing season is just on the horizon (if it has not already begun). It is a vulnerable period, though. You’ve been in a semi-comatose state of near hibernation for months and then, all of a sudden, everything that you’ve waited for – everything that has kept you alive (and sound) through a nightmarish and seemingly eternal winter, is readily available. In abundance. All at once. https://www.intheloopmag.com
This issue of In the Loop Magazine features both fly tying inspiration and intriguing destination articles. So, whether you are looking to alleviate the potential onslaught of winter depression by zoning in on your next fly fishing destination, or you are just looking for a new pattern to tie in the depths of your man cave – we have got you covered.
Issue 36 features wonderful contributions from Pat Ford, Matt Harris, Ken Morrish, Garrison Doctor, Barry Ord Clarke, Rok Rozman, Emilie Björkman, Stefan Larsson, and more. We know it is a busy time of year, but we hope you will take the time to give it a good read.
After all, you cannot be fishing ALL the time.
Payara on the Fly
If you are a fly rod addict and have a bucket list, I am pretty sure a Payara is on it. Payara is a species of dogtooth tetra; a rather bland description as opposed to “Vampire Fish”, which is what they are usually called.
The River of Ghosts
The scotch was hammering in my temples as I forced myself out of bed and blundered into the shower. Less than four hours ago, opening yet another bottle of 18-year-old Glen-what-ever-it-was had seemed like an excellent idea. Now, in the cold light of day, I could see that reckless impulse for the lamentable decision that it was.
Enjoy and have a wonderful Spring!
All the very best//
