James Ogden Day 2013...

...it's that time of year again!  This is when your faithful correspondent attempts to catch a brown trout, using a rod and reel made by James Ogden, on the very river where the great inventor first conceived the idea of tying flies deliberately to make them float.

We had a great time today.  The Drake came on later as they had yesterday and from about 14:00 the PPSG was taken with alacrity.  We packed up early and Warren gave us a lift home, much to Henry's delight.  He loves Warren.

  1. Hi RR am I right in thinking that Ogden Island is on the Black barn stretch with the small wooden footbridge leading across to it? Cheers Sean

    1. That's the place Sean. You go across turn downstream and keep going until you reach the end. Then you start and fish your way back up.

  2. Wow Rod, three beauties for the price of one. The water, the lovely trout and that beautiful reel.
