One of the highlights of 2025 for me was fly fishing for barbel in the summer. Deep wading gives a connection to the fish in their environment and the river unlike any other fishing method. It also means the fish remain in the water and after a photo are quick to recover and released easily.
If you would like to try it yourself next summer along with a float fishing session then please reach out.

Countdown is on for another trip to Guyana and some incredible experiences. The Iwokrama reserve and Essequibo river never fails to deliver both fish of every shape and size and also incredible wildlife above the water. All these animals showcased in a landscape hard to find anywhere else on the planet.

Chris Rea was way more than an Xmas song. I spent hours listening to his music and going to live shows.
His songs and lyrics for me are even more pertinent now after 40 more years life experience than they were then.
Please take a listen and celebrate one of our best blues musicians.
RIP and thank you Chris Rea

I think this video fully captures the essense of summer barbel fishing. If you put in the hard yards and find fish, there are likely to be lots of them. It's not all about finding the first comfortable swim and throwing lots of bait in! My guided days are initially all about river craft and observing feeding and habitat, then hopefully slipping a few fish over the net.
If you would like more details for 2026 dates or just want to see more fishy videos from my upcoming winter adventures then please follow my page.

just arrived for the next trip to the essequibo rainforest, Guyana. These are made with HD wire and fitted with specialist hooks and rings to withstand the numerous toothy fish that just destroy a standard Mepps lure. Highly recommend Alan to supply you with all your custom lures for domestic trout and salmon to international adventures. His service and prices are exemplorary.

The Payara (Vampire fish) in Guyana's Essequibo River are commonly caught to over 20lb. On light gear they are amazing sport and provide a memorable photo opportunity.

Today's Freaky Fish Friday pays respect to those close-call moments where you're just a chomp or lodged-hook away from a disaster ready to derail even the best fishing day.

You can see from the span of this vampire fish's wide mouth compared to the size of my face (and the look on my face!) that it was a delicate situation. In the end, I did not end up with puncture wounds and this fish was released to target better suited prey.

What's your best (or worst) close call while fishing? Let me know in the comments.

Species: Payara (vampire fish)
Location: Essequibo River, Guyana

We came across this huge Anaconda that we originally thought may be dead. Not having the courage to give it a poke we removed the hook from our rig and tossed the weight towards it. We quickly found out that this 20+ foot leviathon was just resting!

With heavy rain and more water in the river, it could signal the end of wading for the remainder of the year. Looking forward to some autumn barbel and big river Wye pike over the coming months. Please follow the page if you are interested in a day out or just curious to see what we catch.
