Welcome to the first edition of Tails’n’Scales.
A big thank you to everyone that sent suggestions for the name. It was a hard decision to make, and Bill Martin’s suggestion of ‘Tails’n’Scales’ ended up our favourite. Congratulations Bill – we hope you enjoyed the pack of goodies.
There’s nothing quite as invigorating as that fresh ocean breeze, with your line dangling in the big blue, waiting for that feeling on your fingertips you’ve been dreaming about for months.
In our newsletter this month we bring you up to date on some of the latest trips and specials we have, introduce you to our new series .. Terrin Talks Tackle, and share one of Dylan’s great recipes.
