BLOGS WE LOVE at EFGEECO

THE PISCATORIAL RACONTEURS  Don't see this website as a blog. See it as your favourite local. In their words because I can't say it any better  "In winter’s cold, to be sat atop a creaking settle, an ale in hand, while the open fire warms the convivial conversation and the bones, is surely an experience to savour, and in the throes of summer’s long shadows to sit amidst green rolling hills, by the side of a gently flowing river or lost pool, the conversation among friends is as the scene surrounding them – joyous and abundant."  See you there and line them up. Open 24  hours a day. 

DOMINIC GARNETT is well known for his weekly musings on all forms of angling in The Angling Times. His website, as well as the home for his blog is also a shop front for his guiding and copywriting services. Dominic, an acomplished musician with his duo "The Missing Keys" writes about coarse fishing, fly fishing and fly fishing for coarse fish. (see his book, FLY FISHING for COARSE FISH here) 

The PISCATORS JOURNAL is a collection of ramblings, stories, and thought on fishing. It's online magazine rather than a blog - you can download it and read it under your brolly without having to worry about internet connections. There have been 7 episodes so far so there's plenty to keep you occupied. Have a fishy story to tell? They're always looking for new talent.

THE SECRET ANGLER - to the point, no nonsense blog that doesn't pull any punches. One entry titled 'The persistent problem with fishing articles' made us blush with embarrasment here at  Efgeeco Towers - we've fallen into every cliché that is mentioned. Other targets include The Riverfly Partnership with a blog titled 'Citizen Science or Data Dogsbodies'. You get the idea. It's blog that won't stroke anyone's ego. It's irresistible!!

PISCATORIAL QUAGSWAGGING - is the diary of specialist angler Mick Newey who fishes in and around the Warwickshire Avon and its tributaries. The name alone summons up so many images that you've got to have a look. 

LOOK YE ALSO - is Stephen Cullen's blog about fishing, food, tractors, and tea drinking. Everything is there for an afternoon in front of the fire.

KEVIN PARR is  a writer, a fisherman, and amateur naturalist. He is a regular contributor to Countryfile Magazine and is deputy editor for the legendary Fallon's Angler Magazine. His blog is a beautifully written account of his interests.

THE IDLER The name says it all really! Anglers by their very nature could be described as idlers. We know different of course - a static body and torpid demeanour do not mean an inactive mind.
