Welcome to Issue 2

Even more this month

Wow, it seems like no time since we first put together issue one. I can't believe the feedback we have received and the great comments that have come flooding in. The amount of people who viewed ESF far exceeded what I had hoped for. This has done a couple of things. Firstly, it has made me think that what we have been trying to do is something fly anglers are interested in and secondly that you have "got" what this is all about. A bunch of people who love fly fishing like I do.

I am really pleased with how this issue looks. We have a Home Water article at the excellent Burton Springs Fishery in Somerset, Jim's excellent casting article, Stan Mankov takes us to Bulgaria, a great interview from Dean Andrews and some beautiful shots of NZ from Mat Mchugh... plus loads more. Please let us know what you think of #2, all the feedback helps us to try and make ESF better with each edition

I got the opportunity to catch up with Jim Williams & Ian May recently for a day's fishing and to talk about ESF.
Ian, with camera in hand as always, chose to film some of our 'chat' as an introduction to what ESF is all about (3m 56 secs). In hindsight it was a smart move because the 'Ladies' were being difficult and we were catching 'diddly squat'.

So here's Issue 2. I hope you enjoy it!
