Looking Ahead



The Future of Flywater Exosed
Finally I seem to be in a position where I can get this project up and running again. One thing that I have noticed though, is that some of the seemingly untouched areas I have had in the back of my mind have been popping up in various places with people having finally explored the areas potential. Since they are likely to get more and more attention, I doubt they will be the place of choice for the big journey when it eventually happens. Instead, I intend to keep searching, meanwhile talking to some of the people that are unlocking the potential of these areas and filling you all in on what I find out.

Another thing that I will be sharing with you on here will be something that may impact the project in a big way. I have decided to learn to sail. This may mean that by the time I work out where Flywater X actually is, I may be able to get myself there. So far the plan is to learn the basics next summer, and then get out on a few short trips in various conditions over the next couple of years. Once I feel comfortable enough, I will buy an old but seaworthy yacht, and sail the length of the Great Barrier Reef for a month or three. It's something I have wanted to do since I was a child. Obviously there will be plenty of exciting fly fishing opportunities to report on while there, and I am also now considering getting an experienced videographer to come along for the ride, or at the very least attempting to get some reasonable footage to post on here myself. Plenty of time to work that out though!

In the meantime, I have a heap of interviews, reviews, and articles to work on. Don't forget to like us on Facebook so you will know as soon as a new post is up!
