Hi All
In a matter of weeks, the world has turned on its head and we find ourselves in desperately worrying and unprecedented times.
The situation regarding Covid-19 is ever-changing, and fishing might seem trivial at the moment, yet it might also be a useful tool to escape the worry. We’re not able to go fishing, but we can at least talk about it—anglers are normally good for a bit of chat—and we can certainly think about it, because, as we all know, anglers have great imaginations.
The Fallon’s Angler team are working out how best to move forward, but with pressures coming from various directions, this is obviously tricky. Our distribution facilities have been significantly slowed and our network of stockists have closed their doors as the high street has gone into lockdown. Family needs to be to the fore while fishing takes a back seat. So, from a practical sense, we have taken the decision to delay the production of issue 19 while we adjust to this new landscape.
In the meantime, subscriptions and orders are safe. We will continue to work on issue 19 so we’re ready to print when things begin to return to normal, and we’ve reduced the cost of our back issues by 20%, so we can provide you with plenty of reading material to occupy the mind through this time.
Also, until we have a better sense of how the printed word will move forward, we will be looking at ways to reach out digitally. We are knocking various ideas around, but would appreciate your input, too. If there are any things you might like to enjoy or engage in, then please tell us. You can reach out to us on our social media platforms, or message our editor directly at editor@fallonsangler.net.
To get things moving, we have published a new story from our editor below as he continues his search for wild brown trout, and we are delighted to announce the first of a new series of podcasts, "Ramble On", that bring anglers and the landscapes they live and fish in to life. First up is Kevin Parr and the lake at the end of the lane.
We apologise to all our valued readers for these changes, but they are necessary at this time, so that the magazine you love will be here for a long time to come. Rest assured we’ll do our best to keep you inspired and entertained in the interim, but for a little while at least, it’s Fallon’s Angler, Jim, but not as you know it. In the meantime, keep safe and well.

Its time for a 'Short Bite' - of the Fallon's Angler variety.....
We are delighted to bring you the first of an ongoing series of short films that will sit alongside more familiar crafted works from Nick Fallowfield-Cooper.
These films will focus upon specific species, methods and locations, sharing a few ideas and edging as close to an instructional film as Fallon's Angler will ever likely get.
This short bite came while Nick and Kev were on the River Test (filming 'From the Gloaming') and offers a brief insight into one of our most beautiful fish.....the grayling.
We hope you enjoy it.
