How to Become a Faster Triathlete…by Doing Less “Training”

I love athlete questions, especially questions with answers that challenge the triathlon – and especially IRONMAN Triathlon® – culture of “more training is better.” A client of mine completed her first IRONMAN in Cozumel in November where she finished 2nd in her age group out of 39 (which is phenomenal). She decided to do another […]

How to Write a Useful Triathlon Race Report

When I finished an event in the past like a triathlon or a Spartan Race, I would type up a race report and publish in my blog. The write up talk about things like: my pre-race routine, the chaos of a mass swim start, my nutrition mistakes on the run and trading off positions with […]

The River Glomma Norway 2018

A short film by Alan Ward, tracking the fishing trip of a few anglers seeking out the best Grayling fishing Norway has to offer on the mighty river Glomma.

Jock Sprat

The Jock Sprat is a bug for Grayling but will take Brown Trout as well. You can vary the size of hook and bead to meet your needs. The one shown here is fairly heavy and will get down fast to the deeper pools on the river.

Ballon Caddis

A great little sedge pattern that also doubles as an indicator for fishing the duo.

Summo Shrimp

This is an ideal pattern to be fished for trout with an abundant supply of shrimp, such as those at Grafham Water. I have also considered using this on the river.

The Cyclops was introduced to me by Jim Crawford many years ago now of course trends and fashion in fly fishing move on and this fly rarely sees the light of day. There are however the odd occassions when something a little bit different is needed and this can sometimes do the trick.

Fritz Bomb.wmv

This is a basic lure I tie for guys that I am trying to teach to fish. It can be fished easily on a floating line what most beginners start with and the tail gives it lots of movement. Trout can find this very tempting.

Winged flies have always been somewhat of a mystery to me but after looking over Wingmans step by step on FF Forums I thought I would give it a bash. I have cheated a bit with the use of UV resin to hold the palmered wing in place. It may give you some ideas for […]

Orange Blob.wmv

The Orange blob detested by some fished exclusively by others not the nicest of flies to look at but by gum it catches fish!
