Les is a Church of England minister who lives in South West England, surrounded by salmon fishing (which he can't afford) and river fishing for small trout, which he attempts to catch with a tiny brook rod.
The Devon coastline also has Sea Bass which provide him with hours of pleasure while his wife, Nan, walks the dog along the beach. When the dog and Les are at home, he clips hair off the dog to tie salt-water shrimp flies...
He is looking forward to teaching his grandchildren to flyfish, and trying to catch mullet on fly.

Did you find the above interesting? | People who looked at the above also looked at these pages:
During the warmer months of the year, they are just about anywhere... Ants. Martin Westbeek shows an easy way to tie a good ant imitation that will sit well on the surface and hopefully lure trout or grayling.
Tying has become as much a passion for Dutch Martin Westbeek as fishing, and Martin is a regular tyer at shows and fairs in Holland, Germany, Denmark and Britain, and also tied in the USA.

There are thousands of shrimp patterns in the world, made from the same template. This pattern is a time consumer, but it makes it more interesting tying shrimp flies. The eyes, proportions and legs gives this pattern some kind of magic.

Dear Les Austin,
I read about you in the danish magazine Sportsfiskeren, an spend quite a long time to find you in England. As you already know it is free to fish the shores of Denmark and it is, compared to UK or other countries cheep to get a day permit for rivers here.
I`we sure be pleased to help you if you want a danish contact for planning your next trip to Denmark.
I live in the middle of Jutland but like to go to the rivers nearby and the coasts as well.
Through my sixty years of lving I`we been fishing many places in Denmark and Europe and flyfishing and flytying had been quite a passion.
I read UK magazines from time to time. My interest for England come from tracing my relatives in London. (Grandfather).
Look foreward to hear from you.
Sincerely yours,
Martin Seest
