Urbantrout returned to the British Fly Fair International this weekend, joining the Wild Trout Trust crew on their stand to sign even more copies of Trout in Dirty Places and officially launching our very own eco-branded hoodies, t-shirts, fishing caps and window stickers.
As ever, the fair provided a perfect occasion to represent the urban fly-fishing movement and catch up with city river explorers old and new – including David Miller, Gareth Lewis, Dom Garnett, Gary Hyde, Phil Sheridan and Paul Procter – and find out all the Dirty Places they’ve been fishing since this time last year.
We also managed to talk bugs with Stuart Crofts, listen in on Paul Gaskell and John Pearson speaking insightfully about tenkara in the UK, and pick up a signed copy of Peter Hayes’ iconoclastic new book, Fly Fishing Outside the Box.
The new Urbantrout online shop is due to go live in the week of 1 July.
But in the meantime, if you just can’t wait to get your hands on our exciting new urban fly gear, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do!
