Default Popular UK blogs?

Hey all! I'm looking for the best UK fly blogs. I live in the U.S. and I'm not familiar with many European bloggers in general. I'd love some suggestions of where to start looking. I'm curious to which are the most popular, as well as if there are any "new school" blogs out there.

Thanks! Any direction would be appreciated!

Hi.

Best ones I have read are:
nadder-diary.net
North Country Angler
Dry Fly Expert
River Wharfe Fishing :: Main Page
DW Fly Fishing & Tying
Fly fishing North Yorkshire

North country angler has a great blog roll as well.


What do you mean by new school?

A fisherman and a Cormac McCarthy fan? Must be some kind of a masochist

If you are interested in fly fishing for pike, try

Hi Fisherlady - What I meant by "new school" is a focus on younger anglers - those under 35. They're often more edgy rather than something that poeticizes the sport. Thanks for your suggestions guys - I'll cruise through them! Any others?

Cheers me dear!




And thank you Urban Ali, I hadn't seen that Fishtec report. That is not a bad review for mine and probably about right.

There are a few more UK blogs that are worthy of a look

Chasing Rainbows
Fishing in Scottish Waters
Walks and Fishes
Wildflies.com

If you have difficulty in finding them let me know and I'll post you the links.

For those that maybe interested there is an Angling Test due on mine on Friday at approximately 9.00 am.
