In conjunction with Aardvark McLeod our first group has just returned from the wilds of the Bolivian Jungle. The Tsimane operation is the first to access these incredible rivers where it is possible to sight fish for huge golden dorado and the equally impressive pacu. The excitement before departure to this jungle wilderness has been tangible, not just for the clients travelling but also for all

Rodrigo Salles of Untamed Angling has recently posted this excellent video of the Tsimane Lodge in Bolivia. Photographs are great, but this vid gives an excellent sense of first, how beautiful the rivers are, and two, the calibre of the fishing. My god I want to be there right now! About to have a tantrum...Rodrigo and others have just come back from there to see how everything was going

David, Elisabeth and Peter McLeod and Nick PalliserYes, that's correct, you are not mistaken, you are looking at a picture of the winning team, the Gold Medallists, the "Numero Unos", the "Hombres", the "Poderosos"... Ok, I may be getting a little carried away but it is the first gold medal I have ever won. As Peter McLeod Senior, aka David put it "Haven't won one of these since the '36 Olympics!

Only of interest to UK residents reading this. Apologies to those further afield.I just wanted to alert those who may have missed it, that the latest screened episode of South Pacific contained the most extraordinary footage I have seen in a long time.A native Solomon Islander gathered Tarantula silk on a stick to use, believe it or not, as bait.After boarding his boat, he attached the spool of

Last Saturday we were the fortunate guests of Locksley Ryan to fish on his lovely beat on the Test. He has a rod on the Broadlands beat near Romsey.Amy and I were spending the weekend with Peter and Elisabeth McLeod in Whitchurch, so for us, this was a wonderful Hampshire fest. The sun was shining, the wind was blowing, but we were in such a fabulous mood, that little could have brought us

I found this vid on Youtube and thought it might be of interest. It is a trailer for a forthcoming film by some Australian fisherman who went on the noble quest for giant Golden Dorados in Argentina.This is the first footage I have found of the amazing fishing at La Zona. La Zona is totally unique and is without parallel when it comes to specimen dorado. They are repeatedly caught up to and

For many years now I had resisted fishing at Dever Springs in Hampshire. I always had a gut reaction against the oversized beasts they stocked there. Add to which, in my experience, big trout over 6lbs never fought as hard as a fit 3 or 4lber.Well, I will eat humble pie.Ian Macdonald generously invited me to fish on his corporate day yesterday. There was a healthy mix of novices, semi-novices and

Ty Pollock of Costa Del Mar was f(**$^$%$ing kind enough to send me this picture he took of me at the Sportfish Open Weekend a couple of weeks ago.I found it amusing when Steve O'Dea and Malcolm Cocliff of Donegal Flies kept calling me Lebowski the whole weekend, but this picture seems to put it all into context.Take slightly overlong hair and a goatee and you have the makings of a "Dude"

This is a video of my friend Rodrigo Salles landing a 28.5lb Dorado on the Rio Juramento in Northern Argentina. Clearly the beauty I refer to in the title is the fish!!!! :)The guide in the vid is the wonderful Pablo Orfeo. One of the best, most passionate guides I have ever fished with. Hello Pablo if you read this.For more info on this destination, please click here.

The BBC have done it again. South Pacific is one of those groundbreaking nature docs that really deserves watching. Not only is the technologically groundbreaking photography delivering genuine eye-candy, but this must be fascinating for anyone who loves true wilderness and the exotic.The first episode was transmitted last week and can still be watched on BBC iPlayer. Watch it. Unbelieveable

The two intellectuals you see above are myself on the left and Peter McLeod, our chests heaving with pride as we finished setting up our first ever joined trade show stand.Actually, the weekend was a huge success, partly due to the enormous fun we have meeting up with all our buddies in the trade, but also as it is such a great way to chat face to face with many of our clients.This year had two
