Here today, gone by Mayfly time

After three happy years writing the FT fishing column my tenure is coming to an end in April, just before the Mayfly hatch. It's time to move on. At least that's what they have told me. Now I know how a Mayfly shuck feels.

It's been a breeze - every bit of it. I have met some great people and made a lot of friends. I wouldn't know where to start the thank yous but people such as Orri Vigfusson, Peter McLeod and Simon Cooper have helped me so much in that time. They have taught me a lot and given me some great fishing experiences. I wish them all well.

This isn't the end of my fishing writing. I'm just getting going. I will be writing here regularly but I will be back somewhere else in the paper medium very soon. Watch this blog for developments.
