I have talked many times about the social side of LRF, how marks are shared, anglers are friendly and meet ups are common. In these odd times, the social element becomes even more important as we try to forget about the drama going on in the world, so we can just enjoy being by the…
Light Game/LRF – Turbo Tuesday
Cornwall is not just a county of pasties, surfing and second homes, it’s also the land of endless fishing variety… I know how lucky I am being able to fish this coastline on a regular basis. Two Cornish species on my wishlist this year are the greater weever and turbot. There was a chance of…

For better or worse, the easing of lockdown has continued. With this easing has been an opportunity to catch up with friends and even to meet new people – albeit at a distance. One of those new people is Dominic Garnett, fishing author and general lure/fly fishing enthusiast. I got the message from Dom to…

What Makes A Great Tackle Shop?
Even without the current pandemic, there’s never been a more challenging time to run a tackle shop. With it’s efficiency, viral advertising and temptation, the Internet (and it’s evil offspring, Social Media) has revolutionised how anglers buy tackle. To be a shop owner now you need to move with the times, open your doors to…
Review – Majorcraft Jigpara Shore Jigs
Majorcraft, if you read my blog regularly you already know I’m a big fan of both their rods and their lures. Their metal shore jig range is something that is becoming more varied each year. The company’s commitment to LRF and Light Game is to be commended too and it’s something I’m all too happy…
