Our good friend and long-time contributor Adam Guy wrote me to say that he’s recently picked up fly fishing and has been getting his practice in on a locally stocked pond where he can also keep a small portion of his catch to bring home and eat. Of course no post of his would be complete without something to get you salivating..
1. The French dish truites aux amandes; made with just butter, lemon, parsley and almonds, it is simplicity itself.
2. Seared trout fillets with a sauce of Marsala wine, cream and Japanese shimeji mushrooms.
3. Good old fish and chips, made with trout in a beer batter; it tasted better than some sea-fish I have eaten.
Once I have gained a little skill, I fully intend to hit the mountains and coasts of Japan with my fly rod. There is plenty of game here such as several species of native char and trout, a version of the famous taimen, Hucho perryi, called “itoh” in Japanese, and even our very own Asian salmon, the cherry or masu salmon (“sakuramasu”). Of course these creatures would probably not end up on my dinner plate, as perhaps due to my increasing age I feel less inclined to kill and eat my catch, but I will be sure to send you a photographic record of my fishing trips here.
Cheers, Adam
If there’s one thing we love here at Fishing Fury, other than fishing of course, it’s gotta be fishing related tattoos! This recent post from The Female Angle blog is another fine example of how much fishing means to some people. The tattoo is not actually on the author of the post, but rather the author is the creator of the fly- now immortalized in an amazing tattoo!
It not often we see prosthetics designed solely for fishermen. We did see an awesome childrens casting arm a while back, but this fly fishing arm looks a little more hi-tech!

Simon Graham from Pike Fly Fishing Articles is at it again with more brilliant pike fly designs! If you love pike and you love fly fishing, it doesn’t get much better then this!
My good friend Martin Szomolanyi and I started our morning launching out of Humber Bay and taking a very cold but also very fast boat ride out to the islands. We started fishing from the East end to the West end covering the inner channels and the outer city facing shorelines. We spotted a ton [...]
