I'm John Grindle and
I live in a small village in the county of Dorset, England. I fish the
River Frome, which is a wonderful little chalk stream full of wild trout and
grayling.
I would call myself a
fisherman that ties flies, rather than a fly tier that fishes. My fly
tying skills don't allow me to tie wonderful intricate flies, so I have had to
resort to tying in an impressionist style. This makes my flies easy and
quick to tie and they still catch plenty of fish.
In 1995 I became
Honorary Secretary to the Dorchester Fishing Club. The club is a private
one, founded in 1877, of approximately 65 members. The club's waters
consist of about 7 miles of wild brown trout and grayling fishing in the main
River Frome and River Cerne, together with attendant carriers and side streams.
The waters extend both above and below the town of Dorchester and the club
employs a part time keeper. For more information visit my web site at
