OK we all know what a vital source of information the web has become. Whether you are looking for a good fly fishing instructor (that's us!) or you are planning a holiday, whether you are researching your family history or purchasing a book; the web has all the answers and it is the first place most of us now turn to. But what did people do before the World Wide Web.

Well there was an even earlier web that fly fisherman for generations have been referring to and that is what this page is all about. I am of course referring to the spider's webs that line the banks of our waterways and provide us with a huge insight into what has been happening in our absence.

We will bring you photos from week to week to let you know what is turning up on the banks of our rivers even though we may not have been there to see it ourselves (we are but three mortals and cannot be everywhere at once!).

Hopefully this will arm people with a little more info and also result in more of you regularly checking the the grass and streamside foliage to see what has indeed been hatching over the previous hours/days. This indispensable tool/technique is something that all of us fly fishers should be using whenever we hit the water.

I hope you enjoy this new addition to the site. And if you don't like spiders please do not go any further down this page.

Cheers
